119 build. The download time will vary with the local internet speed and
120 server load. The download time is about 3 minutes on a fiber connection
121 and probably not much more than 10 minutes on an ADSL connection.
122 If you have not installed one or more of the following dependencies,
123 they will also be downloaded during the build.

544 respectively, where <replaceable>&lt;module&gt;</replaceable> is one of
545 base, calc, draw, impress, math, web, or writer. Modules cannot be started
546 using their shell starting script names (see "Installed Programs", below),

565 on the toolbar.

570 what languages to support. To list several languages, separate them with
571 a space. For all languages, use
572 <option>--with-lang=ALL</option>. Note that the translations file
573 is not needed and won't be downloaded if using only en-US as a language.

589 <parameter>--with-jdk-home=/opt/jdk</parameter>: This parameter will silence
590 a warning that the configure script attempted to find JAVA_HOME
591 automatically (even though that is passed in the environment). Omit this if
592 you disabled java.
593 </para>
594

597 dictionaries to the <application>LibreOffice</application> installation
598 set.
599 </para>
600
601 <para>
602 <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
603 system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
604 the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
605 bundled copy of boost by removing this flag.
606 </para>

619 described below after '- -without-java'.-->

621

625 package are used.
626 </para>
627
628 <para>
629 <parameter>--disable-odk</parameter>: This switch disables installing the
630 office development kit. Remove if you want to develop a
631 <application>LibreOffice</application> based application.
632 </para>
633
634 <para>
635 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
636 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
637 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
638 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
639 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).
640 </para>
641
642 <para>
643 <parameter>--enable-python=system</parameter>: This switch tells
644 <application>LibreOffice</application> to use the system installed
645 <application>Python 3</application> instead of
646 the bundled one.
647 </para>
648
649 <para>
650 <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent
651 <application>LibreOffice</application> from trying to compile its own
652 versions of these dependencies. If you've not installed some of the
653 dependencies, remove the corresponding switches.

662 <application>libreoffice</application>.

665 <para>
666 <command>make distro-pack-install</command>: This does a normal
667 install, but if you add a DESTDIR environment variable it will also
668 install a lot of (text) gid_Module_* files in the DESTDIR, to help
669 distributions which want to break the package into parts.
670 </para>
671
672 <para>
673 <option>--with-parallelism=&lt;count&gt;</option>: This switch
674 tells <application>LibreOffice</application> to use &lt;count&gt; CPU
675 cores to compile in parallel. (Do not include literal angle brackets.)
676 The default is to use all available cores on the system.
677 </para>

681 printing support.

683
684 <para>
685 <option>--disable-dbus</option>: Use this switch if you've not installed
686 D-Bus-1.8.0 or later. It also disables Bluetooth support and font install
687 via PackageKit.
688 </para>
689
690 <para>
691 <option>--disable-firebird-sdbc</option>: By default, the ability to
692 connect to a <application>firebird</application> database is enabled.
693 Add this switch if you do not need that feature.
694 </para>
695
696 <para>
697 <option>--disable-gstreamer-1-0</option>: Use this switch if you have not
698 installed <xref linkend="gst10-plugins-base"/>.
699 </para>
700
701 <para>
702 <option>--disable-postgresql-sdbc</option>: This switch disables compiling
703 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the ability to connect to a
704 <application>PostgreSQL</application> database. Use it if you have not
705 installed <application>PostgreSQL</application> and you do not want
706 <application>LibreOffice</application> to compile its bundled copy.
707 </para>
708
709 <para>
710 <option>--disable-skia</option>: Use <xref linkend="cairo"/> for rendering
711 instead of skia.
712 </para>
713
714 <para>
715 <option>--enable-gtk3-kde5</option>: This switch allows the Visual Class
716 Library, which is responsible for widgets, to be built with KF5 file
717 dialogs if GTK+-3, Qt5 and Plasma are all available.
718 </para>
719
720 <para>
721 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
722 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
723 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
724 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
725 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
726 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
727 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
728 might be much slower.
729 </para>
730
731 <para>
732 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
733 <application>Java</application> support in
734 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
735 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
736 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
737 <application>base</application>. It is also needed for some optional
738 user interface components.
739 </para>
740
741 <para>
742 <option>--without-fonts</option>: <application>LibreOffice</application>
743 includes a number of third-party TrueType fonts. If you have already
744 installed some or all of the same fonts, you may prefer to use the system
745 versions.
746 </para>
747
748 <para>
749 <!-- Brings in - -enable-qt5 as well. -->
750 <option>--enable-kf5</option>: Builds with KDE/Plasma integration. If
751 &qt5-deps; and/or <xref linkend="kf5-frameworks"/> are not
752 installed in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the include
753 and library directories must be specified in <envar>QT5INC</envar>,

755 respectively.
756 </para>
757
758 <para>
759 <option>--enable-evolution2</option>: Enables support for Evolution
760 address books through Evolution Data Server. Note that Evolution Data
761 Server must be installed for this feature to function.
762 </para>
763
764 <para>
765 <option>--enable-qt5</option>: This switch enables support for integration
766 with Qt5 and the Qt5 theming engine. If &qt5-deps; is not installed in
767 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the include and library
768 directories must be specified in the <envar>QT5INC</envar> and
769 <envar>QT5LIB</envar> environment variables.

776 <option>- -with-system-icu</option>: This command would use the system
777 version of <xref linkend="icu"/> which is normally considered to be a good
778 thing to do. However, one of the very minor packages pulled in by
779 <application>LibreOffice</application>, libfreehand-0.1.2, does not compile
780 with ICU-65.1 because of a missing semi-colon at the end of one line in one
781 of its files. Do not use this option unless you have separately installed a
