switch is needed if the optional Avahi-0.7 is not
installed. Remove it if avahi is installed and you need network
printer discovery capabilities.
--without-rcdir
: This
switch disables installation of the bundled bootscript which is not
compatible with BLFS.
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

the pdftoijs filter, for sending PDFs to an HP InkJet Server, to be
built.
