 <!-- Editors: many updates to poppler will break LO using system poppler until
      somebody is able to provide a patch or sed.  In these cases, please mark
      the dependency as currently broken and move the \-\-with-system-poppler
      line to a comment. Also please switch poppler between recommended and
      optional according to whether or not we use the system version.  The
      installed size will be increased by 2 MB if using the shipped poppler, but
      the variation in build times will be lost in the noise. - ken

      Not a problem with 7.1.7.2 and poppler-21.05.0.  - bdubbs

        Around 80 smallish tarballs and zip files will be downloaded during the
        build. The download time will vary with the local internet speed and
        server load.  The download time is about 3 minutes on a fiber connection
        and probably not much more than 10 minutes on an ADSL connection.
        If you have not installed one or more of the following dependencies,
        they will also be downloaded during the build.

        Most of these packages are recommended because if they're not installed,
        the build process will compile and install its own (often older)

        space along with increasing build time.

      <command>sed -e ...</command>: The first sed prevents compression of the
      manual pages and the second one prevents the install from failing.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-vendor=BLFS</parameter>: This switch sets BLFS as
      the vendor which is mentioned when you click "About" from the Help menu
      on the toolbar.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-lang='fr en-GB'</parameter>: This switch sets
      what languages to support. To list several languages, separate them with
      a space. For all languages, use
      <option>--with-lang=ALL</option>. Note that the translations file
      is not needed and won't be downloaded if using only en-US as a language.

    </note>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-help</parameter>: Without this switch, the help files
      are not built.
    </para>

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

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-myspell-dicts</parameter>: This switch adds myspell
      dictionaries to the <application>LibreOffice</application> installation
      set.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
      system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
      the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
      bundled copy of boost by removing this flag.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--disable-dconf</parameter>: This switch disables compiling
      <application>LibreOffice</application> with the
      <application>GNOME DConf</application> configuration system support.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--without-junit</parameter>: This switch disables the tests
      for the deprecated HSQLDB driver which is written in Java.

      to build this driver replace this switch with the set of switches
      described below after '- -without-java'.-->
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--without-system-dicts</parameter>: This switch disables the
      use of dictionaries from system paths so that the ones installed by this
      package are used.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--disable-odk</parameter>: This switch disables installing the
      office development kit. Remove if you want to develop a
      <application>LibreOffice</application> based application.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
      Release Build.  <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
      Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
      paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
      words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--enable-python=system</parameter>: This switch tells
      <application>LibreOffice</application> to use the system installed
      <application>Python 3</application> instead of
      the bundled one.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent
      <application>LibreOffice</application> from trying to compile its own
      versions of these dependencies. If you've not installed some of the
      dependencies, remove the corresponding switches.

      <application>libreoffice</application>.

-->
    <para>
      <command>make distro-pack-install</command>: This does a normal
      install, but if you add a DESTDIR environment variable it will also
      install a lot of (text) gid_Module_* files in the DESTDIR, to help
      distributions which want to break the package into parts.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--with-parallelism=&lt;count&gt;</option>: This switch
      tells <application>LibreOffice</application> to use &lt;count&gt; CPU
      cores to compile in parallel.  (Do not include literal angle brackets.)
      The default is to use all available cores on the system.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--disable-cups</option>: Use this switch if you don't need
      printing support.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--disable-dbus</option>: Use this switch if you've not installed
      D-Bus-1.8.0 or later. It also disables Bluetooth support and font install
      via PackageKit.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--disable-firebird-sdbc</option>: By default, the ability to
      connect to a <application>firebird</application> database is enabled.
      Add this switch if you do not need that feature.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--disable-gstreamer-1-0</option>: Use this switch if you have not
      installed <xref linkend="gst10-plugins-base"/>.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--disable-postgresql-sdbc</option>: This switch disables compiling
      <application>LibreOffice</application> with the ability to connect to a
      <application>PostgreSQL</application> database. Use it if you have not
      installed <application>PostgreSQL</application> and you do not want
      <application>LibreOffice</application> to compile its bundled copy.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--disable-skia</option>: Use <xref linkend="cairo"/> for rendering
      instead of skia.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--enable-gtk3-kde5</option>: This switch allows the Visual Class
      Library, which is responsible for widgets, to be built with KF5 file
      dialogs if GTK+-3, Qt5 and Plasma are all available.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
      Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
      This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
      load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
      spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
      in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
      files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
      might be much slower.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
      <application>Java</application> support in
      <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
      deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
      other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
      <application>base</application>. It is also needed for some optional
      user interface components.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--without-fonts</option>: <application>LibreOffice</application>
      includes a number of third-party TrueType fonts. If you have already
      installed some or all of the same fonts, you may prefer to use the system
      versions.
    </para>

    <para>
      <!-- Brings in - -enable-qt5 as well. -->
      <option>--enable-kf5</option>: Builds with KDE/Plasma integration. If
      &qt5-deps; and/or <xref linkend="kf6-frameworks"/> are not
      installed in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the include
      and library directories must be specified in <envar>QT5INC</envar>,

      address books through Evolution Data Server. Note that Evolution Data
      Server must be installed for this feature to function.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--enable-qt5</option>: This switch enables support for integration
      with Qt5 and the Qt5 theming engine. If &qt5-deps; is not installed in
      <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the include and library
      directories must be specified in the <envar>QT5INC</envar> and
      <envar>QT5LIB</envar> environment variables.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--enable-qt6</option>: This switch enables support for integration
      with Qt6 and the Qt6 theming engine. If <xref linkend="qt6"/> is not
      installed in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the include and
      library directories must be specified in the <envar>QT6INC</envar> and
      <envar>QT6LIB</envar> environment variables.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--with-system-abseil</option>: This switch enables using a system
      version of the Abseil C++ libraries instead of the bundled copy. Add this
      switch if <xref linkend="abseil-cpp"/> is installed and you wish to use
      it instead of the bundled copy.

      thing to do. However, one of the very minor packages pulled in by
      <application>LibreOffice</application>, libfreehand-0.1.2, does not compile
      with ICU-65.1 because of a missing semi-colon at the end of one line in one
