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

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

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

612 you disabled java.

654 <para>
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.

694 tells <application>LibreOffice</application> to use &lt;count&gt; CPU
695 cores to compile in parallel. (Do not include literal angle brackets.)
696 The default is to use all available cores on the system.

707 via PackageKit.

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

736 Library, which is responsible for widgets, to be built with KF5 file
737 dialogs if GTK+-3, Qt5 and Plasma are all available.

739
740 <para>
741 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
742 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
743 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
744 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
745 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
746 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
747 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
748 might be much slower.
749 </para>
750
751 <para>
752 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
753 <application>Java</application> support in
754 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
755 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
756 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
757 <application>base</application>. It is also needed for some optional
758 user interface components.
759 </para>
760

762 <option>--without-fonts</option>: <application>LibreOffice</application>
763 includes a number of third-party TrueType fonts. If you have already

765 versions.
