      <parameter>-D&lt;option&gt;=false</parameter>: These switches are
      required if the corresponding dependency is not installed.
      Remove those where you have installed the corresponding application and
      wish to use it with <application>Gvfs</application>. The dnssd option
      requires avahi and both goa and google require GNOME Online Accounts.
      The google option also requires libgdata.

    <para revision="sysv">
      <parameter>-Dtmpfilesdir=no -Dsystemduserunitdir=no</parameter>: These
      switches provide systemd directory locations. Setting them to
      <quote>no</quote> disables the dependency on systemd and logind.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>-Dcdda=false</option>: This switch is required if libcdio is not
      installed. The cdda backend is useless on machines without a CDROM/DVD
      drive.
