204 the build process will compile and install its own (often older)
205 version, with the side effect of increasing build and installed disk

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

733
734 <para>
735 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
736 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
737 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
738 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
739 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
740 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
741 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
742 might be much slower.

744
745 <para>
746 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
747 <application>Java</application> support in
748 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
749 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
750 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
