This SlackBuild builds the entire project from its source code. In seeking a

-Build time environment variables that may set to vary features are as follows:
+fully functional LibreOffice, most optional features are included by default,
+using internal versions of any external software components that may be needed.
+This results in a very small number of directly required additional software
+packages.
+
+However most of this additional software is also available as SBo SlackBuilds.
+During configuration, the LibreOffice SlackBuild will detect any such packages
+that are already installed and use them in preference to building its own
+internal versions. Packages from SBo that will be use in this way are:
+ CoinMP cppunit glm libabw libcdr libcmis libe-book libeot libepubgen
+ libexttextcat libfreehand libmspub libmwaw libnumbertext liborcus
+ libpagemaker libqxp libnumbertext libstaroffice libtommath libwps libzmf
+ lpsolve mythes postgresql qt5 valgrind ucpp unixODBC avahi
+ mysql-connector-c++ libetonyek xmlsec vlc
+
+Remember, these packages are not essential but entirely optional. If not found,
+LibreOffice will simply build its own internal versions.
+
+Also keep in mind that any package from the above list which is detected and
+used when building LibreOffice will most likely become a runtime dependency too
+e.g. if avahi is detected and used at build time, it will also need to be
+installed at run time.
+
+Build time environment variables that may be set to vary features are as follows:
1. enable the experimental VLC avmedia backend (disabled by default) with:
VLC="yes"
This requires the vlc package (available from SBo) to be installed.
-2. enable avahi support (disabled by default) with:
- AVAHI="yes"
- This requires the avahi package (available from SBo) to be installed.
-
3. disable kde4 support (enabled by default) with:
KDE4="no"
