MLTERM - Multi Lingual TERMinal emulator


COMPILATION
===========

  $ ./configure
  $ make

Options for configure
---------------------

  --prefix
    Installation prefix

  --disable-dl-table
    Disable dynamic loading of character mapping or property table,
    which is statically linked to libmef.
  
  --without-map-table
    Remove character mapping table

  --without-prop-table
    Remove unicode character property table

  --with-iconv
    Use iconv to convert between different character sets.
    (If --with-iconv is specified, --disable-dl-table is the default.)

  --with-gui=(xlib|win32|fb|quartz|console|wayland|sdl2|beos)
    Use specified gui library
    See "Supported platforms" below.

  --with-imagelib=(gdk-pixbuf)
    Link specified image library to mlterm for image processing.
    Note that this option is not necessary for image processing, because
    mlimgloader (see --with-tools) processes images instead and passes them
    to mlterm.
    This option is recommended only if you build libvte which depends
    on gdk-pixbuf anyway.
    (Imlib is not supported since mlterm 3.0.2)

  --with-libltdl
    Load modules with libltdl

  --with-type-engines=(xcore|xft|cairo)
    Use specified type engines for rendering text.
    xcore is possible to disable only when --with-type-engines=(except xcore)
    is specified with --disable-dl-type option.

  --disable-anti-alias
    Same as --with-type-engines=xcore on xlib.
    (--enable-anti-alias is the same as --with-type-engines=xcore,xft,cairo)
    This option is ignored if --with-type-engines is specified on xlib.

    Disable truetype fonts on framebuffer or wayland.

  --disable-fontconfig
    Disable fontconfig (use ~/.mlterm/*aafont) on framebuffer or wayland.

  --disable-dl-type
    Disable dynamic loading of type engine modules,
    which are statically linked to mlterm.

  --disable-fribidi
    Disable BiDi rendering
    (see https://github.com/arakiken/mlterm/blob/master/doc/en/README.bidi)

  --disable-ind
    Use libind for Indic rendering
    (see https://github.com/arakiken/mlterm/blob/master/doc/en/README.indic)

  --disable-dl-ctl
    Disable dynamic loading of BiDi and Indic rendering modules,
    which are statically linked to mlterm.
  
  --disable-ssh2
    Disable to connect ssh2 server.
    If enabled, libssh2 (https://www.libssh2.org) is used to connect ssh2 server.
    (Usage: mlterm(mlclient) --serv ssh://user@xxx.xxx.xxx)
    If you want to use camellia as common key cryptography or SSH agent forwarding,
    install alternative libssh2 of camellia-agentfwd branch at
    https://github.com/arakiken/libssh2/archive/camellia-agentfwd.zip
    (see https://github.com/arakiken/mlterm/blob/master/doc/en/README.ssh and
         https://github.com/arakiken/mlterm/blob/master/doc/en/README.transfer)

  --with-mosh=(mosh source directory)
    Enable mosh and specify its source directory, where ./configure script should
    be executed in advance.
    This option is available only if libssh2 is enabled.
    Don't distribute libptymosh in binary format.
    (see see https://github.com/arakiken/mlterm/blob/master/doc/en/README.mosh)

  --without-pthread
    Don't depend on pthread for secure copy (scp) over ssh.
    (Furthermore, don't link libpthread to mlterm in NetBSD even if --enable-ibus
     or --with-type-engines=cairo is specified.)

  --enable-debug
    Build debug version

  --enable-optimize-redrawing
    Optimize redrawing a line

  --with-scrollbars
    Build specified scrollbars in scrollbar/ and contrib/scrollbar/ directories

  --with-tools
    Build specified tools in tool/ and contrib/tool/ directories
    mlimgloader is automatically added unless --disable-image or --with-imagelib
    is specified.
    registobmp is necessary to process ReGIS.

  --disable-use-tools
    Don't build and use external tools.
    If this option is specified, --with-tools option is ignored.

  --disable-dnd
    Disable XDnD

  --disable-kbd
    Disable kbd input method which converts US keyboard characters to other
    keyboard layouts such as arabic and hebrew.

  --disable-iiimf

  --enable-pty-helper
    Support gnome-pty-helper. (Note that it is impossible to enable
    gnome-pty-helper in BSD style pty system and that gnome-pty-helper must be
    placed at ${libexecdir}/mlterm directory.)

  --with-gtk=(2.0|3.0|4.0)
    Use specified version of GTK+
    The default is 3.0.

  --enable-vt52
