503 manual pages, the second one prevents the install from failing, and the
504 the third allows to build with OpenJDK-12.
505 </para>
506
507 <para>
508 <parameter>--with-vendor=BLFS</parameter>: This switch sets BLFS as
509 the vendor which is mentioned when you click "About" from the Help menu
510 on the toolbar.
511 </para>
512
513 <para>
514 <parameter>--with-lang='fr en-GB'</parameter>: This switch sets
515 what languages to support. To list several languages, separate them with
516 a space. For all languages, use
517 <parameter>--with-lang=ALL</parameter>.
518 </para>
519

521 <para>
522 For a list of the available languages, look in

524 </para>
525 </note>
526
527 <para>
528 <parameter>--with-help</parameter>: Without this switch, the help files
529 are not built.
530 </para>
531
532 <para>
533 <parameter>--with-jdk-home=/opt/jdk</parameter>: This parameter will silence
534 a warning that the configure script attempted to find JAVA_HOME
535 automatically (even though that is passed in the environment). Omit this if
536 you disabled java.
537 </para>
538
539 <para>
540 <parameter>--with-myspell-dicts</parameter>: This switch adds myspell
541 dictionaries to the <application>LibreOffice</application> installation
542 set.
543 </para>
544 <!-- Unrecognized as of 6.2.0.3
545 <para>
546 <parameter>- -with-alloc=system</parameter>: This switch tells
547 <application>LibreOffice</application> to use the system allocator
548 instead of its internal one.
549 </para>
550 -->
551 <para>
552 <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
553 system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
554 the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
555 bundled copy of boost, by removing this flag.
556 </para>
557
558 <para>
559 <parameter>--disable-dconf</parameter>: This switch disables compiling
560 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the
561 <application>GNOME DConf</application> configuration system support.
562 </para>
563
564 <para>
565 <parameter>-disable-gtk -enable-gtk3</parameter>: This pair of switches
566 tell the configure script to use <application>GTK+-3</application> instead
567 of <application>GTK+-2</application>.
568 </para>
569
570 <para>
571 <parameter>--without-junit</parameter>: This switch disables the tests
572 for the deprecated HSQLDB driver which is written in Java. If you wish
573 to build this driver replace this switch with the set of switches
574 described below after '--without-java'.
575 </para>
576
577 <para>
578 <parameter>--without-system-dicts</parameter>: This switch disables use
579 of dictionaries from system paths, so the ones installed by this package
580 are used.
581 </para>
582
583 <para>
584 <parameter>--disable-odk</parameter>: This switch disables installing the
585 office development kit. Remove if you want to develop a
586 <application>LibreOffice</application> based application.
587 </para>
588
589 <para>
590 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
591 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
592 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
593 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
594 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).
595 </para>
596
597 <para>
598 <parameter>--enable-python=system</parameter>: This switch tells
599 <application>LibreOffice</application> to use installed
600 <application>Python 3</application> to build the translations instead of
601 the bundled one.
602 </para>
603
604 <para>
605 <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent
606 <application>LibreOffice</application> from trying to compile its own
607 versions of these dependencies. If you've not installed some of the
608 dependencies, remove the corresponding switches.
609 </para>
610
611<!--
612 <para>
613 <command>CPPFLAGS='-DU_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE=1' make ...</command>: <xref
614 linkend="icu"/> has removed an implicit namespace <quote>using</quote>
615 from its headers files. Setting <envar>U_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE</envar> to
616 1 allows to restore the former behavior, which is required for building
617 <application>libreoffice</application>.
618 </para>
619-->
620 <para>
621 <command>make distro-pack-install</command>: this does a normal
622 install, but if you add a DESTDIR environment variable it will also
623 install a lot of (text) gid_Module_* files in the DESTDIR, to help
624 distributions which want to break the package into parts.
625 </para>
626
627 <para>
628 <option>--with-parallelism=&lt;count&gt;</option>: This switch
629 tells <application>LibreOffice</application> to use &lt;count&gt; CPU
630 cores to compile in parallel. (Do not include literal angle brackets.)
631 The default is to use all available cores on the system.
632 </para>
633
634 <para>
635 <option>--disable-cups</option>: Use this switch if you don't need
636 printing support.
637 </para>
638
639 <para>
640 <option>--disable-dbus</option>: Use this switch if you've not installed
641 D-Bus-1.8.0 or later. It also disables Bluetooth support and font install
642 via PackageKit.
643 </para>
644
645 <para>
646 <option>--disable-firebird-sdbc</option>: By default, the ability to
647 connect to a <application>firebird</application> database is enabled.
648 Add this switch if you do not need that feature.
649 </para>
650
651 <para>
652 <option>--disable-gstreamer-1-0</option>: Use this switch if you have not
653 installed <xref linkend="gst10-plugins-base"/>.
654 </para>
655
656 <para>
657 <option>--disable-gtk3</option>: Use this switch if you have not installed
658 <application>GTK+-3</application>, or if you have installed it but wish
659 to use <application>GTK+-2</application> (the menu icons differ).
660 <!-- Note that a <application>GTK+-3</application> build still
661 requires <application>GTK+-2</application> to build the gtk-plugin.-->
662 </para>
663
664 <para>
665 <option>--disable-postgresql-sdbc</option>: This switch disables compiling
666 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the ability to connect to a
667 <application>PostgreSQL</application> database. Use it if you have not
668 installed <application>PostgreSQL</application> and you do not want
669 <application>LibreOffice</application> to compile its bundled copy.
670 </para>
671
672 <para>
673 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
674 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
675 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
676 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
677 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
678 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
679 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
680 might be much slower.
681 </para>
682
683 <para>
684 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
685 <application>Java</application> support in
686 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
687 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
688 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
689 <application>base</application>.
690 </para>
691

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

695 Those options are needed if you want to run the tests.
696 </para>
697
698 <para>
699 <option>--without-fonts</option>: <application>LibreOffice</application>
700 includes a number of third-party TrueType fonts. If you have already
701 installed some or all of the same fonts, you may prefer to use the system
702 versions.
703 </para>

705 <para>
706 <!-- Brings in - -enable-qt5 as well. -->
707 <option>--enable-kde5</option>: Builds with KDE/Plasma integration. If

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

712 respectively.

716 <option>--enable-evolution2</option>: Enables support for Evolution
717 address books through Evolution Data Server. Note that Evolution Data
718 Server must be installed for this feature to function.
719 </para>
720
721 <para>
722 <option>--with-system-icu</option>: This command would use the system
723 version of <xref linkend="icu"/> which is normally considered to be a good
724 thing to do. However, one of the very minor packages pulled in by
725 <application>LibreOffice</application>, libfreehand-0.1.2, does not compile
726 with ICU-65.1 because of a missing semi-colon at the end of one line in one
727 of its files. Do not use this option unless you have separately installed a
728 patched or newer version of
