Command Explanations

-DENABLE_LIBCRYPTUI=OFF: This switch disables the usage of libcryptui because it is not part of BLFS. Omit this switch if you have it installed and wish to use it.

-DENABLE_GTKSPELL=OFF: This switch is used to disable the gtkspell plugin because GtkSpell 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=ON: Use this switch if you have installed the necessary dependencies and wish to build the Contact Maps plugin.
