30 somebody is able to provide a patch or sed. In these cases, please mark

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

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

577 you disabled java.

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

660 distributions which want to break the package into parts.

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

733 <application>Java</application> support in

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