Command Explanations

-DENABLE_YTNEF=OFF: This switch is used to disable the yTNEF library usage because libytnef is not part of BLFS.

-DENABLE_PST_IMPORT=OFF: This switch is used to disable the pst-import plugin because libpst is not part of BLFS.

-DENABLE_CONTACT_MAPS=OFF: This switch disables building the Contact Maps plugin. Remove this switch if you have installed the necessary dependencies and wish to build the Contact Maps plugin.

-DENABLE_MARKDOWN=OFF: This switch allows building without cmark. Remove this switch if you need markdown support and you have installed the necessary dependency.

-DWITH_GWEATHER4=ON: This switch allows building against libgweather-4.0.0.

-DWITH_OPENLDAP=OFF: Use this switch if you have not installed OpenLDAP-2.6.3.
