552 what languages to support. To list several languages, separate them with
553 a space. For all languages, use
554 <parameter>--with-lang=ALL</parameter>. Note that the translations file
555 is not needed and won't be downloaded if using only en_US as a language.

572 a warning that the configure script attempted to find JAVA_HOME

574 you disabled java.

586 instead of its internal one.

589 <para>
590 <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
591 system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
592 the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
593 bundled copy of boost, by removing this flag.

621
622 <para>
623 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
624 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
625 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
626 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
627 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).

634 the bundled one.

638 <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent

663 cores to compile in parallel. (Do not include literal angle brackets.)
664 The default is to use all available cores on the system.

714 dialogs if GTK+-3, Qt5 and Plasma are all available.
715 </para>
716
717 <para>
718 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
719 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
720 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
721 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
722 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
723 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
724 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
725 might be much slower.

727
728 <para>
729 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
730 <application>Java</application> support in
731 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
732 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
733 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice

748 versions.
