- `PRECOMPILE_COMMON_HEADERS`: precompiles some common headers to speedup compilation.
- `ENABLE_KERNEL_LTO`: builds the kernel with link-time optimization.
- `INCLUDE_WASM_SPEC_TESTS`: downloads and includes the WebAssembly spec testsuite tests
- `BUILD_<component>`: builds the specified component, e.g. `BUILD_HEARTS` (note: must be all caps). Check the components.ini file in your build directory for a list of available components. Make sure to run `ninja clean` and `rm -rf Build/i686/Root` after disabling components.

See the [Component Configuration](#component-configuration) section below.
- `BUILD_EVERYTHING`: builds all optional components, overrides other `BUILD_<component>` flags when enabled
Many parts of the SerenityOS codebase have debug functionality, mostly consisting of additional messages printed to the debug console. This is done via the `<component_name>_DEBUG` macros, which can be enabled individually at build time. They are listed in [this file](../Meta/CMake/all_the_debug_macros.cmake).

For the changes to take effect, SerenityOS needs to be recompiled and the disk image needs to be rebuilt.
## Component Configuration
For selecting which components of the system to build and install, a helper program, `ConfigureComponents` is available.
It requires `whiptail` as a dependency, which is available on most systems in the `newt` or `libnewt` package. To build and run it, run the following commands from the `Build/i686` directory:
```console
$ cmake ../.. -G Ninja # Only required if CMake hasn't been run before.
$ ninja configure-components
```
This will prompt you which build type you want to use and allows you to customize it by manually adding or removing certain components. It will then run a CMake command based on the selection as well as `ninja clean` and `rm -rf Root` to remove old build artifacts.
## Ports
To add a package from the ports collection to Serenity, for example curl, go into `Ports/curl/` and run `./package.sh`. The sourcecode for the package will be downloaded and the package will be built. After that, rebuild the disk image. The next time you start Serenity, `curl` will be available.
