208 the build process will compile and install its own (often older)
209 version, with the side effect of increasing build and installed disk

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

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

750
751 <para>
752 <option>--without-java</option>: This switch disables
753 <application>Java</application> support in

756 other programs or in earlier versions of libreoffice
