General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
3
hasn't been tested well. Either try with --enable-everything or use the
4
./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself,
5
so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always
6
report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann

10
Add support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure
11
--help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order
12
dependant. You can specify this and then disable options which this
13
enables by *following* this with the appropriate commands.
12
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in
15
You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by
16
*following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or
17
you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying
18
"--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..."
21
--enable-xft (default: enabled)
16
22
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts
17
23
are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use
18
24
them, you don't pay for them.
26
--enable-font-styles (default: on)
21
27
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The
22
28
fonts can be set manually or automatically.
24
--with-codesets=NAME,...
25
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (eu, vn
26
are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets).
27
These codeset tables are currently only used for driving X11 core
28
fonts, they are not required for Xft fonts. Compiling them in will
29
make your binary bigger (together about 700kB), but it doesn't
30
increase memory usage unless you use an X11 font requiring one of
33
all all available codeset groups
34
zh common chinese encodings
35
zh_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs
36
jp common japanese encodings
37
jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings
30
--with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all)
31
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu",
32
"vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character
33
sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts,
34
they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled
35
in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently.
36
Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost
37
about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a
38
font requiring one of these encodings.

jp common japanese encodings
44
jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings
46
--enable-xim (default: on)
41
47
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
42
48
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set
43
49
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
51
--enable-unicode3 (default: off)
52
Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters.
46
54
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535
47
55
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements
48
56
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these
73
80
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to
74
81
be used (and tell me how these are to be used...).
76
--enable-fallback(=CLASS)
77
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS
78
(default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use
82
Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when
83
reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
85
--with-res-class=CLASS
86
Use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class
87
when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace
83
--enable-fallback(=CLASS) (default: Rxvt)
84
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS.
85
To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback.
87
--with-res-name=NAME (default: urxvt)
88
Use the given name as default application name when reading
89
resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
91
--with-res-class=CLASS /default: URxvt)
92
Use the given class as default application class when reading
93
resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace rxvt.
95
--enable-utmp (default: on)
91
96
Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start
92
97
of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
99
--enable-wtmp (default: on)
95
100
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at
96
101
start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This
97
102
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified.
104
--enable-lastlog (default: on)
100
105
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin)
101
106
at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to
102
107
also be specified.
104
--enable-xpm-background
109
--enable-xpm-background (default: on)
105
110
Add support for XPM background pixmaps.
107
--enable-transparency
112
--enable-transparency (default: on)
108
113
Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
109
114
transparency to the term.
112
Add support for fading the text when focus is lost.
115
Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds.
118
Add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with
119
dynamic locale switching currently).
116
--enable-fading (default: on)
117
Add support for fading the text when focus is lost (requires
118
"--enable-transparency").
120
--enable-tinting (default: on)
121
Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds (requires
122
"--enable-transparency").
124

122
125
Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar.
127
--enable-next-scroll (default: on)
125
128
Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar.
127
--enable-xterm-scroll
130
--enable-xterm-scroll (default: on)
128
131
Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar.
130
--enable-plain-scroll
133
--enable-plain-scroll (default: on)
131
134
Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is
132
135
the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many
136
Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
137
only applicable to rxvt scrollbars.
138
--enable-ttygid (default: off)
140
139
Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your
141
140
system uses this type of security.
143
142
--disable-backspace-key
144
Disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
143
Removes any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server

146
--disable-delete-key
148
Disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do
147
Removes any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do
151
150
--disable-resources
152
Remove all resources checking.
155
Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
156
version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
159
Please note that nowadays, things like XIM will automatically pull
160
in and use the full X resource manager, so the overhead of using it
161
might be very small, if nonexistant.
164
Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
165
various routines, overriding your system's versions which may have
166
been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries to link
167
in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many GNU/Linux
151
Removes any support for resource checking.
170
153
--disable-swapscreen
171
Remove support for swap screen.
154
Remove support for secondary/swap screen.
156
--enable-frills (default: on)
174
157
Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice
175
158
to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may
176
159
want to disable this.

197
199
support for 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with this switch.

requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.

Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See
216
http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this
218
<http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/> for details If you use either this
217
219
or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after
218
