Command Explanations

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

-D ENABLE_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.
