    <para><parameter>--enable-opi</parameter>: This parameter forces the build
    to include support for OPI comments.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-splash-output</parameter>: This parameter
    disables building the Splash graphics backend. Remove this parameter if
    you have <application>Fontconfig</application> installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-cairo-output</parameter>: This parameter
    disables building the <application>cairo</application> graphics backend.
    Remove this parameter if you have <application>cairo</application>
    installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-poppler-glib</parameter> and
    <parameter>--disable-gtk-test</parameter>: These parameters disable
    building the <application>GLib</application> wrapper and
    <application>GTK+</application> test program. Remove these parameters if
    you have <application>GTK+</application>-2 installed. Note that if you
    plan on building <xref linkend="evince"/>, you must build the
