General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
| 2 |
hasn't been tested well. Either try with --enable-everything or use the |
| 3 |
./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself, |
| 4 |
so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always |
| 5 |
report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann |

|
| 8 |
--enable-everything |
| 9 |
add support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure |
| 10 |
--help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order |
| 11 |
dependant. You can specify this and then disable options which |
| 12 |
this enables by _following_ this with the appropriate commands. |
| 13 |
--enable-xft |
| 14 |
add support for xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. xft fonts are |
| 15 |
slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them, |
| 16 |
you don't pay for them. |
| 17 |
--with-codesets=NAME,... |
| 18 |
compile in support for additional codeset groups: |
| 19 |
jp common japanese encodings |
| 20 |
jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings |
| 21 |
kr korean encodings |
| 22 |
cn common chinese encodings |
| 23 |
cn_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs |
| 24 |
all all of the above |
| 25 |
--enable-xim |
| 26 |
add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
| 27 |
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly |
| 28 |
set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
| 29 |
--enable-unicode3 |
| 30 |
enable support for unicode codepoints above 65535 (the basic |
| 31 |
multilingual page). This increases storage requirements per |
| 32 |
character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
| 33 |
extra characters, but Xft does. |
| 34 |
--enable-combining |
| 35 |
enable automatic composition of combining characters into |
| 36 |
composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text |
| 37 |
where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is |
| 38 |
done by using precomposited characters when available or creating |
| 39 |
new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. Without |
| 40 |
--enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed characters |
| 41 |
is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the |
| 42 |
private use area, extending the number of combinations to |
| 43 |
8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This |
| 44 |
will also enable storage of characters >16bit. They currently |
| 45 |
won't display properly, but they will paste correctly. |
| 46 |
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
| 47 |
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want |
| 48 |
these to be used. |
| 49 |
--enable-fallback(=CLASS) |
| 50 |
when reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS |
| 51 |
(default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback. |
| 52 |
--with-res-name=NAME |
| 53 |
use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name |
| 54 |
when reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace |
| 55 |
rxvt. |
| 56 |
--with-res-class=CLASS |
| 57 |
use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class |
| 58 |
when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace |
| 59 |
rxvt. |
| 60 |
--enable-utmp |
| 61 |
write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like ``w'') at |
| 62 |
start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits. |
| 63 |
--enable-wtmp |
| 64 |
write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like ``last'') at |
| 65 |
start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |
| 66 |
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
| 67 |
--enable-lastlog |
| 68 |
write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like |
| 69 |
``lastlogin'') at start of rxvt execution. This option requires |
| 70 |
--enable-utmp to also be specified. |
| 71 |
--enable-xpm-background |
| 72 |
add support for XPM background pixmaps |
| 73 |
--enable-transparency |
| 74 |
add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake |
| 75 |
transparency to the term |
| 76 |
--enable-tinting |
| 77 |
add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds. |
| 78 |
--enable-menubar |
| 79 |
add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with |
| 80 |
dynamic locale switching currently) |
| 81 |
--enable-rxvt-scroll |
| 82 |
add support for the original rxvt scrollbar |
| 83 |
--enable-next-scroll |
| 84 |
add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar |
| 85 |
--enable-xterm-scroll |
| 86 |
add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar |
| 87 |
--enable-plain-scroll |
| 88 |
add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that |
| 89 |
is the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for |
| 90 |
many years. |
| 91 |
--enable-half-shadow |
| 92 |
make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height. |
| 93 |
only applicable to rxvt scrollbars |
| 94 |
--enable-ttygid |
| 95 |
change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if |
| 96 |
your system uses this type of security |
| 97 |
--disable-backspace-key |
| 98 |
disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server |
| 99 |
do it |
| 100 |
--disable-delete-key |
| 101 |
disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server |
| 102 |
do it |
| 103 |
--disable-resources |
| 104 |
remove all resources checking |
| 105 |
--enable-xgetdefault |
| 106 |
make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small |
| 107 |
version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist |
| 108 |
then ~/.Xresources |
| 109 |
--enable-strings |
| 110 |
add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other |
| 111 |
various routines, overriding your system's versions which may |
| 112 |
have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries |
| 113 |
to link in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many |
| 114 |
GNU/Linux systems). |
| 115 |
--disable-swapscreen |
| 116 |
remove support for swap screen |
| 117 |
--enable-frills |
| 118 |
add support for some lesser used features |
| 119 |
--enable-linespace |
| 120 |
add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows |

--enable-keepscrolling |
| 122 |

| 123 |
the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow |
| 124 |
--enable-mousewheel |
| 125 |
add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5 |
| 126 |
--enable-slipwheeling |
| 127 |
add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
| 128 |
accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
| 129 |
requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
| 130 |
--enable-old-selection |
| 131 |
remove support for reverting the mouse selection style to that |
| 132 |
of v2.20 (and prior) |
| 133 |
--disable-new-selection |
| 134 |
remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm |
| 135 |
--enable-dmalloc |
| 136 |
use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging |
| 137 |
See http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details |
| 138 |
If you use either this or the next option, you may need to |
| 139 |
edit src/Makefile after compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to |
| 140 |
the right places. |
| 141 |
You can only use either this option and the following (should |
| 142 |
you use either) |
| 143 |
--enable-dlmalloc |
| 144 |
use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version |
| 145 |
See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html for details |
| 146 |
--enable-smart-resize |
| 147 |
add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size |
| 148 |
via from hot keys. This should keep in a fixed position the |
| 149 |
rxvt corner which is closest to a corner of the screen |
| 150 |
--enable-256-color |
| 151 |
add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours |

| 156 |
--with-name=NAME |
| 157 |
set the basename for the installed binaries (default: urxvt, resulting |
| 158 |
in urxvt, urxvtd etc.). Specify --with-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
| 159 |
--with-term=NAME |
| 160 |
change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME |
| 161 |
(default "rxvt") |
| 162 |
--with-terminfo=PATH |

| 164 |

| 168 |
look for the XPM includes in DIR |
| 169 |
--with-xpm-library=DIR |
| 170 |
look for the XPM library in DIR |
