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

120 server load. The download time is about 3 mn on a fiber connection,
121 probably not much more than 10 mn on an ADSL connection.

677 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
678 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
679 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
680 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).

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

780
781 <para>
782 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
783 <application>Java</application> support in

786 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
