Xterm is normally built as part of the X Windows source tree, using
imake to generate a Makefile from Imakefile.  You can also use the
configure script to generate a Makefile from Makefile.in:

	+ If you have imake (or xmkmf), then you can use those directly,
	  or use the configure script, which normally uses those tools
	  to obtain the special definitions needed to build xterm.

	  Ultimately, imake will not be necessary, since it is possible
	  to add configure tests that derive the information that imake
	  would supply.

	+ You need the Athena widgets (or a clone, such as Xaw3d or
	  neXtaw), to provide the popup menus.

Even if you have imake, the configure script is still convenient because
it allows you to build different configurations more easily than with
imake, simply by specifying options to the configure script.

Options:
-------

Autoconf configure scripts recognize two types of application-defined
options, enable/disable and with/without.  The latter, by convention, are
used for denoting inclusion of external packages, while the former denote
enabling/disabling of internal features.  The configure --help option
lists the available options.  This script uses "enable" and "disable"
to indicate the sense of the default behavior.

The options (in alphabetic order):

  --disable-16-color      disable 16-color support (default: on)
  --disable-active-icon   disable X11R6.3 active-icon feature (default: on)
  --disable-ansi-color    disable ANSI color (default: on)
  --disable-bold-color    disable PC-style mapping of bold colors (default: on)
  --disable-color-mode    disable default colorMode resource (default: on)
  --disable-doublechars   disable support for double-size chars (default: on)
  --disable-echo          test: display "compiling" commands (default: on)
  --disable-highlighting  disable support for color highlighting (default: on)
  --disable-i18n          disable internationalization (default: on)
  --disable-imake         disable use of imake for definitions (default: on)
  --disable-input-method  disable input-method (default: on)
  --disable-rightbar      disable right-scrollbar support (default: on)
  --disable-tek4014       disable tek4014 emulation (default: on)
  --disable-vt52          disable VT52 emulation (default: on)
  --enable-logfile-exec   enable exec'd logfile filter (default: off)
  --enable-logging        enable logging (default: off)
  --enable-trace          test: set to enable debugging traces (default: off)
  --enable-warnings       test: turn on GCC compiler warnings (default: off)
  --enable-xmc-glitch     test: enable xmc magic-cookie emulation (default: off)
  --with-Xaw3d            link with Xaw 3d library
  --with-neXtaw           link with neXT Athena library
  --with-terminal-id[=V]  set default decTerminalID (default: vt100)
