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 build. The download time will vary with the local internet speed and

120 probably not much more than 10 mn on an ADSL connection.

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

776 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
777 <application>Java</application> support in
