509 the suite can be started with <command>libreoffice</command> command and
510 the modules with <command>libreoffice

512 respectively, where <replaceable>&lt;module&gt;</replaceable> is one of
513 base, calc, draw, impress, math, web, or writer. Modules cannot be started
514 using their shell starting script names (see "Installed Programs", below),
515 if LO_PREFIX is other than <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename>,

562 you disabled java.

577 <para>
578 <parameter>--with-system-boost</parameter>: This switch enables using
579 system boost. From time to time, recent versions of boost break
580 the build of libreoffice. In this case, it is possible to use the
581 bundled copy of boost, by removing this flag.

610 <para>
611 <parameter>--enable-release-build=yes</parameter>: This switch enables a
612 Release Build. <application>LibreOffice</application> can be built as a
613 Release Build or as a Developer Build, because their default installation
614 paths and user profile paths are different. Developer Build displays the
615 words "Dev" and "Beta" in several places (e.g, menu and splash screen).

704
705 <para>
706 <option>--enable-lto</option>: This switch will enable Link Time
707 Optimization, which results in slightly smaller libraries (about 40 MB).
708 This is said to make <application>LibreOffice</application> programs
709 load faster (and possibly run faster, e.g. when recalculating a
710 spreadsheet). On an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory, the difference
711 in compile times was minimal, but an extra 2GB was used for the work
712 files. On machines with fewer processors or a lack of memory, the compile
713 might be much slower.

718 <application>Java</application> support in
