204 the build process will compile and install its own (often older)

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

666 distributions which want to break the package into parts.

725
726 <para>
727 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
728 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
729 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
730 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
731 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
732 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
733 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
734 might be much slower.
735 </para>
736
737 <para>
738 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
739 <application>Java</application> support in
740 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
741 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
742 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
