Either try with "--enable-everything" or use + the default configuration (i.e. no "--enable-xxx" or "--disable-xxx" + switches). Of course, you should always report when a combination + doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. + + All + + --enable-everything + Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in + "./configure --help", except for "--enable-assert" and + "--enable-256-color". + + You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by + *following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or + you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying + "--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..." + arguments you want. + + --enable-xft (default: on) + Add support for Xft (anti-aliased, 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. + + --enable-font-styles (default: on) + Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The + fonts can be set manually or automatically. + + --with-codesets=CS,... (default: all) + Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu", + "vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character + sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, + they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled + in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently. + Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost + about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a + font requiring one of these encodings. + + all all available codeset groups + zh common chinese encodings + zh_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodings + jp common japanese encodings + jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings + kr korean encodings + --enable-xim (default: on) + 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. + + --enable-unicode3 (default: off) + Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters. + + 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 few thousand (shared with combining characters, see next + switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them + (input/output and cut&paste still work, though). + + --enable-combining (default: on) + Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite + characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where + accents are encoded as separate unicode characters. This is done by + using precomposed characters when available or creating new + pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. + + Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed + characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will + be (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. + + This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters + beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. + + 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 (and tell me how these are to be used...). + + --enable-fallback[=CLASS] (default: Rxvt) + When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS. + To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback. + + --with-res-name=NAME (default: urxvt) + Use the given name as default application name when reading + resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. + + --with-res-class=CLASS (default: URxvt) + Use the given class as default application class when reading + resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace rxvt. + + --enable-utmp (default: on) + Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start + of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits. + + --enable-wtmp (default: on) + Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at + start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This + option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. + + --enable-lastlog (default: on) + Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin) + at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to + also be specified. + + --enable-pixbuf (default: on) + Add support for GDK-PixBuf to be used for background images. It adds + support for many file formats including JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, + BMP, ICO and TGA. + + --enable-startup-notification (default: on) + Add support for freedesktop startup notifications. This allows + window managers to display some kind of progress indicator during + startup. + + --enable-transparency (default: on) + Add support for using the root pixmap as background to simulate + transparency. Note that this feature depends on libXrender and on + the availability of the RENDER extension in the X server. + + --enable-fading (default: on) + Add support for fading the text when focus is lost. + + --enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on) + Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar. + + --enable-next-scroll (default: on) + Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar. + + --enable-xterm-scroll (default: on) + Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar. + + --disable-backspace-key + Removes any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server + do it. + + --disable-delete-key + Removes any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do + it. + + --disable-resources + Removes any support for resource checking. + + --disable-swapscreen + Remove support for secondary/swap screen. + + --enable-frills (default: on) + 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. + + A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by "--enable-frills" + (possibly in combination with other switches) is: + + MWM-hints + EWMH-hints (pid, utf8 names) and protocols (ping) + urgency hint + separate underline colour (-underlineColor) + settable border widths and borderless switch (-w, -b, -bl) + visual depth selection (-depth) + settable extra linespacing (-lsp) + iso-14755 5.1 (basic) support + tripleclickwords (-tcw) + settable insecure mode (-insecure) + keysym remapping support + cursor blinking and underline cursor (-bc, -uc) + XEmbed support (-embed) + user-pty (-pty-fd) + hold on exit (-hold) + compile in built-in block graphics + skip builtin block graphics (-sbg) + separate highlight colour (-highlightColor, -highlightTextColor) + extended mouse reporting modes (1005 and 1015). + visual selection via -visual and -depth. + + It also enables some non-essential features otherwise disabled, such + as: + + some round-trip time optimisations + nearest colour allocation on pseudocolor screens + UTF8_STRING support for selection + sgr modes 90..97 and 100..107 + backindex and forwardindex escape sequences + view change/zero scrollback escape sequences + locale switching escape sequence + window op and some xterm/OSC escape sequences + rectangular selections + trailing space removal for selections + verbose X error handling + + --enable-iso14755 (default: on) + Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see urxvt(1)). Basic support + (section 5.1) is enabled by "--enable-frills", while support for + 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with this switch. + + --enable-keepscrolling (default: on) + Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold the + mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow. + + --enable-selectionscrolling (default: on) + Add support for scrolling when the selection moves to the top or + bottom of the screen. + + --enable-mousewheel (default: on) + Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5. + + --enable-slipwheeling (default: on) + 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. + + --enable-smart-resize (default: off) + Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. This should keep + the window corner which is closest to a corner of the screen in a + fixed position. + + --enable-text-blink (default: on) + Add support for blinking text. + + --enable-pointer-blank (default: on) + Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive. + + --enable-perl (default: on) + Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the urxvtperl(3) manpage + for more info on this feature, or the files in src/perl/ for the + extensions that are installed by default. The perl interpreter that + is used can be specified via the "PERL" environment variable when + running configure. Even when compiled in, perl will *not* be + initialised when all extensions have been disabled "-pe "" + --perl-ext-common """, so it should be safe to enable from a + resource standpoint. + + --enable-assert (default: off) + Enables the assertions in the code, normally disabled. This switch + is only useful when developing rxvt-unicode. + + --enable-256-color (default: off) + Force use of so-called 256 colour mode, to work around buggy + applications that do not support termcap/terminfo, or simply improve + support for applications hardcoding the xterm 256 colour table. + + This switch breaks termcap/terminfo compatibility to + "TERM=rxvt-unicode", and consequently sets "TERM" to + "rxvt-unicode-256color" by default (doc/etc/ contains + termcap/terminfo definitions for both). + + It also results in higher memory usage and can slow down urxvt + dramatically when more than six fonts are in use by a terminal + instance. + + --with-name=NAME (default: urxvt) + Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting in "urxvt", + "urxvtd" etc.). Specify "--with-name=rxvt" to replace with "rxvt". + + --with-term=NAME (default: rxvt-unicode) + Change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME. + + --with-terminfo=PATH + Change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo tree + to PATH. + + --with-x + Use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?). + |
