Really? I'm interested. How do you build your own xterm?
Download and extract the source code.
Here's the configure command that I most recently used before teaching
Gentoo's ebuild about Sixel and ReGIS. (The command is derived from the
ebuild I was patterning off of.)
./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --datadir=/usr/share
--disable-full-tgetent --disable-imake --disable-setgid --disable-setuid
--disable-toolbar --enable-256-color --enable-broken-osc
--enable-broken-st --enable-dabbrev --enable-exec-xterm --enable-i18n
--enable-load-vt-fonts --enable-logging --enable-luit --enable-mini-luit
--enable-openpty --enable-regis-graphics --enable-screen-dumps
--enable-sixel-graphics --enable-warnings --enable-wide-chars
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --infodir=/usr/share/info --libdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc --with-app-defaults=/usr/share/X11/app-defaults
--without-Xaw3d --without-xinerama --with-utempter --with-x
The key part is "--enable-sixel-graphics" and / or
"--enable-regis-graphics". I'm also partial to the "--enable-256-color"
and "--enable-screen-dumps".
The screen dumps mean that XTerm will save XHTML and / or XML dumps.
Meaning they are text that you can search / copy paste. }:-)
P.S. My messages to cctech don't seem to be going through. So I'm
re-replying to the message to cctalk.
