I think most are enabled by default. On Linux I only added --with-terminal-type=xterm-xfree86 --enable-256-color --enable-load-vt-fonts --disable-tek4014 --enable-toolbar --disable-vt52 --enable-luit. --with-terminal-type=xterm-xfree86 was just so I wouldn't get it set to xterm by default (lynx etc are black and white with it). --disable-tek4014 --disable-vt52 seems to be recommend because it adds bloat and only a few people use it. You can presumably replace the xc/program/xterm/ with xterm-185/ and the make World will use it. I don't think --with-Xaw3d is worth, as it adds another dependency. Thomas, am (are) I (we) missing anything ? Are there any other options that are enabled or disabled in the xc version ? -- http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html
