[Libreoffice] External versus internal

Hi,


I tried posting this query to the libreoffice users list,
and was told that I should try posting it to the
developers list instead.


I am trying to compile libreoffice 3.4.3.2 from source.


./configure --help says:

--with-system-libs      Use libs already on system -- enables all
--with-system-* flags except mozilla and
odbc/sane/xrender-header(s).
--with-system-headers  Use headers already on system -- enables all
--with-system-* flags for external packages whose
headers are the only entities used i.e.
boost/vigra/odbc/sane/xrender-header(s).


Sounds good to me (I want to use the internal
version of all programs). So I plugged in (I have
reformatted to one line per option for readability):

And it dies:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBWPD_CFLAGS
and LIBWPD_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.



As you can see, it is attempting to use all external
programs. I obviously am missing something quite
basic, but can someone explain why? Thank you
in advance for your help.
