515 <para>
516 <parameter>--with-help</parameter>: Without this switch, the help files
517 are not built.
518 </para>
519
520 <para>
521 <parameter>--with-jdk-home=/opt/jdk</parameter>: This parameter will silence
522 a warning that the configure script attempted to find JAVA_HOME
523 automatically (even though that is passed in the environment). Omit this if
524 you disabled java.
525 </para>
526
527 <para>
528 <parameter>--with-myspell-dicts</parameter>: This switch adds myspell
529 dictionaries to the <application>LibreOffice</application> installation
530 set.
531 </para>
532 <!-- Unrecognized as of 6.2.0.3
533 <para>
534 <parameter>- -with-alloc=system</parameter>: This switch tells
535 <application>LibreOffice</application> to use the system allocator
536 instead of its internal one.
537 </para>
538 -->
539 <para>
540 <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
541 system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
542 the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
543 bundled copy of boost, by removing this flag.
544 </para>
545
546 <para>
547 <parameter>--disable-dconf</parameter>: This switch disables compiling
548 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the
549 <application>GNOME DConf</application> configuration system support.
550 </para>
551
552 <para>
553 <parameter>-disable-gtk -enable-gtk3</parameter>: This pair of switches
554 tell the configure script to use <application>GTK+-3</application> instead
555 of <application>GTK+-2</application>.
556 </para>
557
558 <para>
559 <parameter>--without-junit</parameter>: This switch disables the tests
560 for the deprecated HSQLDB driver which is written in Java. If you wish
561 to build this driver replace this switch with the set of switches
562 described below after '--without-java'.
563 </para>
564
565 <para>
566 <parameter>--without-system-dicts</parameter>: This switch disables use
567 of dictionaries from system paths, so the ones installed by this package
568 are used.
569 </para>
570
571 <para>
572 <parameter>--disable-odk</parameter>: This switch disables installing the
573 office development kit. Remove if you want to develop a
574 <application>LibreOffice</application> based application.
575 </para>
576
577 <para>
578 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
579 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
580 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
581 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
582 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).
583 </para>
584
585 <para>
586 <parameter>--enable-python=system</parameter>: This switch tells
587 <application>LibreOffice</application> to use installed
588 <application>Python 3</application> to build the translations instead of
589 the bundled one.
590 </para>
591
592 <para>
593 <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent
594 <application>LibreOffice</application> from trying to compile its own
595 versions of these dependencies. If you've not installed some of the
596 dependencies, remove the corresponding switches.
597 </para>

599<!--
600 <para>
601 <command>CPPFLAGS='-DU_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE=1' make ...</command>: <xref

603 from its headers files. Setting <envar>U_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE</envar> to
604 1 allows to restore the former behavior, which is required for building
605 <application>libreoffice</application>.
606 </para>
607-->
608 <para>
609 <command>make distro-pack-install</command>: this does a normal
610 install, but if you add a DESTDIR environment variable it will also
611 install a lot of (text) gid_Module_* files in the DESTDIR, to help
612 distributions which want to break the package into parts.
613 </para>
614
615 <para>
616 <option>--with-parallelism=&lt;count&gt;</option>: This switch
617 tells <application>LibreOffice</application> to use &lt;count&gt; CPU
618 cores to compile in parallel. (Do not include literal angle brackets.)
619 The default is to use all available cores on the system.
620 </para>
621
622 <para>
623 <option>--disable-cups</option>: Use this switch if you don't need
624 printing support.
625 </para>
626
627 <para>
628 <option>--disable-dbus</option>: Use this switch if you've not installed
629 D-Bus-1.8.0 or later. It also disables Bluetooth support and font install
630 via PackageKit.
631 </para>
632
633 <para>
634 <option>--disable-firebird-sdbc</option>: By default, the ability to
635 connect to a <application>firebird</application> database is enabled.
636 Add this switch if you do not need that feature.
637 </para>
638
639 <para>
640 <option>--disable-gstreamer-1-0</option>: Use this switch if you have not
641 installed <xref linkend="gst10-plugins-base"/>.
642 </para>
643
644 <para>
645 <option>--disable-gtk3</option>: Use this switch if you have not installed
646 <application>GTK+-3</application>, or if you have installed it but wish
647 to use <application>GTK+-2</application> (the menu icons differ).
648 <!-- Note that a <application>GTK+-3</application> build still
649 requires <application>GTK+-2</application> to build the gtk-plugin.-->
650 </para>
651
652 <para>
653 <option>--disable-postgresql-sdbc</option>: This switch disables compiling
654 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the ability to connect to a
655 <application>PostgreSQL</application> database. Use it if you have not
656 installed <application>PostgreSQL</application> and you do not want
657 <application>LibreOffice</application> to compile its bundled copy.
658 </para>
659
660 <para>
661 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
662 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
663 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
664 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
665 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
666 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
667 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
668 might be much slower.
669 </para>
670
671 <para>
672 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
673 <application>Java</application> support in
674 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
675 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
676 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
677 <application>base</application>.

681 <option>--with-junit=/opt/ant/lib/junit-4.12.jar</option> and

683 Those options are needed if you want to run the tests.
684 </para>
685
686 <para>
687 <option>--without-fonts</option>: <application>LibreOffice</application>
688 includes a number of third-party TrueType fonts. If you have already
689 installed some or all of the same fonts, you may prefer to use the system
690 versions.
