528 <command>sed -e ...</command>: The first sed prevents compression of the
529 manual pages, the second one prevents the install from failing, and the
530 third one allows the build to use poppler-0.86.1 and later.
531 <!-- FIXME update hardcoded poppler version in text when necessary -->

535 <command>sed -i "s/TRUE/true/" ...</command>: These three sed commands
536 fix breakage caused by <application>ICU-68.1</application> removing a
537 macro. The third sed is for a file within libreoffice, the first two
538 are for packages downloaded during the build and amend '.mk' files for
539 the external projects (the source tarballs are unpacked during the build).

545 on the toolbar.

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

570 a warning that the configure script attempted to find JAVA_HOME
571 automatically (even though that is passed in the environment). Omit this if
572 you disabled java.

584 instead of its internal one.

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

617 <application>LibreOffice</application> based application.
618 </para>
619
620 <para>
621 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
622 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
623 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
624 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
625 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).
626 </para>
627
628 <para>
629 <parameter>--enable-python=system</parameter>: This switch tells
630 <application>LibreOffice</application> to use the system installed
631 <application>Python 3</application> instead of
632 the bundled one.
633 </para>
634
635 <para>
636 <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent
637 <application>LibreOffice</application> from trying to compile its own
638 versions of these dependencies. If you've not installed some of the
639 dependencies, remove the corresponding switches.

655 distributions which want to break the package into parts.

660 tells <application>LibreOffice</application> to use &lt;count&gt; CPU
661 cores to compile in parallel. (Do not include literal angle brackets.)
662 The default is to use all available cores on the system.

700 installed <application>PostgreSQL</application> and you do not want

711 Library, which is responsible for widgets, to be built with KF5 file
712 dialogs if GTK+-3, Qt5 and Plasma are all available.
713 </para>
714
715 <para>
716 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
717 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
718 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
719 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
720 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
721 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
722 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
723 might be much slower.
724 </para>
725
726 <para>
727 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
728 <application>Java</application> support in
729 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
730 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
731 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
