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

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

689 distributions which want to break the package into parts.

748
749 <para>
750 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
751 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
752 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
753 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
754 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
755 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
756 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
757 might be much slower.
758 </para>
759
760 <para>
761 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
762 <application>Java</application> support in
763 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
764 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
765 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
