518 allows to build with OpenJDK-12, and the third and fourth allow
519 poppler-0.85.0 to be used.

549 <parameter>--with-jdk-home=/opt/jdk</parameter>: This parameter will silence
550 a warning that the configure script attempted to find JAVA_HOME
551 automatically (even though that is passed in the environment). Omit this if
552 you disabled java.

564 instead of its internal one.

567 <para>
568 <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
569 system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
570 the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
571 bundled copy of boost, by removing this flag.
572 </para>

580 <para>
581 <parameter>--without-junit</parameter>: This switch disables the tests
582 for the deprecated HSQLDB driver which is written in Java. If you wish

584 described below after '--without-java'.
585 </para>

595 office development kit. Remove if you want to develop a
596 <application>LibreOffice</application> based application.
597 </para>
598
599 <para>
600 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
601 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
602 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
603 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
604 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).
605 </para>
606
607 <para>
608 <parameter>--enable-python=system</parameter>: This switch tells
609 <application>LibreOffice</application> to use installed

611 the bundled one.
612 </para>
613
614 <para>
615 <parameter>--with-system-*</parameter>: These switches prevent
616 <application>LibreOffice</application> from trying to compile its own
617 versions of these dependencies. If you've not installed some of the
618 dependencies, remove the corresponding switches.

634 distributions which want to break the package into parts.

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

652 via PackageKit.

677 <application>LibreOffice</application> with the ability to connect to a

685 Library, which is responsible for widgets, to be built with KF5 file
686 dialogs if GTK+-3, Qt5 and Plasma are all available.
687 </para>
688
689 <para>
690 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
691 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
692 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
693 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
694 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
695 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
696 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
697 might be much slower.
698 </para>
699
700 <para>
701 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
702 <application>Java</application> support in
703 <application>LibreOffice</application>. Java is needed for the
704 deprecated HSQLDB driver, which allows reading databases created by
705 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice

740 version of <xref linkend="icu"/> which is normally considered to be a good

742 <application>LibreOffice</application>, libfreehand-0.1.2, does not compile
743 with ICU-65.1 because of a missing semi-colon at the end of one line in one
