Either try with --enable-everything or use the +./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself, +so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always +report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann +. + +=over 4 + +=item --enable-everything + +Add support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure +--help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order dependant. +You can specify this and then disable options which this enables by +I this with the appropriate commands. + +=item --enable-xft + +Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts are +slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them, you +don't pay for them. + +=item --with-codesets=NAME,... + +Compile in support for additional codeset groups: + +=begin table + + all all of the above + cn common chinese encodings + cn_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs + jp common japanese encodings + jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings + kr korean encodings + +=end table + +=item --enable-xim + +Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using +alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly +set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. + +=item --enable-unicode3 + +Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above +65535 (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage +requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet +support these extra characters, but Xft does. + +Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 +even without this flag, but the number of such characters is +limited to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, +see next switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them +(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). + +=item --enable-combining + +Enable automatic composition of combining characters into +composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text +where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is +done by using precomposited characters when available or creating +new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. + +Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed +characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the +private use area, extending the number of combinations to 8448). With +--enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This will also enable +storage of characters >65535. + +The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation forms, +but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to be used. + +=item --enable-fallback(=CLASS) + +When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS +(default: Rxvt).

(this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many +GNU/Linux systems). + +=item --disable-swapscreen + +Remove support for swap screen. + +=item --enable-frills + +Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice to +have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may want to +disable this. + +=item --enable-linespace + +Add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows. + +=item --enable-keepscrolling + +Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold +the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow. + +=item --enable-mousewheel + +Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5. + +=item --enable-slipwheeling + +Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an +accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option +requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. + +=item --disable-new-selection + +Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm. + +=item --enable-dmalloc + +Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See +http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this or the +next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after compiling to point +DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places. + +You can only use either this option and the following (should +you use either) . + +=item --enable-dlmalloc + +Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version +See L for details. + +=item --enable-smart-resize + +Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size via from hot +keys. This should keep in a fixed position the rxvt corner which is +closest to a corner of the screen. + +=item --enable-256-color + +Add support for 256 colours rather than the base 16 colours. + +This option will likely go away in the future. Speak up if you don't want +this. + +=item --enable-cursor-blink + +Add support for a blinking cursor. + +=item --enable-pointer-blank + +Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive. + +=item --with-name=NAME + +Set the basename for the installed binaries (default: urxvt, resulting in +urxvt, urxvtd etc.).
