513 are not built.

525 instead of its internal one.
526 </para>
527 -->
528 <para>
529 <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
530 system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
531 the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
532 bundled copy of boost, by removing this flag.
533 </para>
534
535 <para>
536 <parameter>--disable-dconf</parameter>: This switch disables compiling
537 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the
538 <application>GNOME DConf</application> configuration system support.
539 </para>
540
541 <para>
542 <parameter>--without-junit</parameter>: This switch disables the tests
543 for the deprecated HSQLDB driver which is written in Java. If you wish
544 to build this driver replace this switch with the set of switches
545 described below under '--with-java'.
546 </para>
547
548 <para>
549 <parameter>--without-system-dicts</parameter>: This switch disables use
550 of dictionaries from system paths, so the ones installed by this package
551 are used.
552 </para>
553
554 <para>
555 <parameter>--disable-odk</parameter>: This switch disables installing the
556 office development kit. Remove if you want to develop a
557 <application>LibreOffice</application> based application.
558 </para>
559
560 <para>
561 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
562 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
563 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
564 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
565 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).
566 </para>
567
568 <para>
569 <parameter>--enable-python=system</parameter>: This switch tells
570 <application>LibreOffice</application> to use installed
571 <application>Python 3</application> to build the translations instead of
572 the bundled one.
573 </para>
574
575 <para>
576 <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent
577 <application>LibreOffice</application> from trying to compile its own
578 versions of these dependencies. If you've not installed some of the
579 dependencies, remove the corresponding switches.
580 </para>

584 <command>CPPFLAGS='-DU_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE=1' make ...</command>: <xref

586 from its headers files. Setting <envar>U_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE</envar> to
587 1 allows to restore the former behavior, which is required for building
588 <application>libreoffice</application>.
589 </para>
590-->
591 <para>
592 <command>make distro-pack-install</command>: this does a normal
593 install, but if you add a DESTDIR environment variable it will also
594 install a lot of (text) gid_Module_* files in the DESTDIR, to help
595 distributions which want to break the package into parts.
596 </para>
597
598 <para>
599 <option>--with-parallelism=&lt;count&gt;</option>: This switch
600 tells <application>LibreOffice</application> to use &lt;count&gt; CPU
601 cores to compile in parallel. (Do not include literal angle brackets.)
602 The default is to use all available cores on the system.
603 </para>
604
605 <para>
606 <option>--disable-cups</option>: Use this switch if you don't need
607 printing support.
608 </para>
609
610 <para>
611 <option>--disable-dbus</option>: Use this switch if you've not installed
612 D-Bus-1.8.0 or later. It also disables Bluetooth support and font install
613 via PackageKit.
614 </para>
615
616 <para>
617 <option>--disable-firebird-sdbc</option>: By default, the ability to
618 connect to a <application>firebird</application> database is enabled.
619 Add this switch if you do not need that feature.
620 </para>
621
622 <para>
623 <option>--disable-gstreamer-1-0</option>: Use this switch if you have not
624 installed <xref linkend="gst10-plugins-base"/>.
625 </para>
626
627 <para>
628 <option>--disable-gtk3</option>: Use this switch if you have not installed
629 <application>GTK+-3</application>, or if you have installed it but wish
630 to use <application>GTK+-2</application> (the menu icons differ).
631 Note that a <application>GTK+-3</application> build still
632 requires <application>GTK+-2</application> to build the gtk-plugin.
633 </para>
634
635 <para>
636 <option>--disable-postgresql-sdbc</option>: This switch disables compiling
637 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the ability to connect to a
638 <application>PostgreSQL</application> database. Use it if you have not
639 installed <application>PostgreSQL</application> and you do not want
640 <application>LibreOffice</application> to compile its bundled copy.
641 </para>
642
643 <para>
644 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
645 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
646 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
647 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
648 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
649 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
650 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
651 might be much slower.
652 </para>
653
654 <para>
655 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
656 <application>Java</application> support in
657 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
658 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
659 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
660 <application>base</application>.
661 </para>
662

664 <option>--with-junit=/opt/ant/lib/junit-4.12.jar</option> and

666 Those options are needed if you want to run the tests.
667 </para>
668
669 <para>
670 <option>--without-fonts</option>: <application>LibreOffice</application>
671 includes a number of third-party TrueType fonts. If you have already
672 installed some or all of the same fonts, you may prefer to use the system
673 versions.

680 installed in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the include
681 and library directories must be specified in <envar>QT5INC</envar>,
