573 you disabled java.

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

656 distributions which want to break the package into parts.

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

728 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
729 <application>Java</application> support in

731 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
732 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
