10 1 Anders Gustafsson
Sets up the build for a binary that can run on Android (arm-linux-androideabi-)

12
h3. --enable-avahi
13 2 Anders Gustafsson
14 1 Anders Gustafsson
Enables the opensource implementation of Apple's zero configuration protocol.  For example, a user can plug their computer into a network and have Avahi automatically advertise the network services running on its machine. Avahi's "ihavA" advertisement results in adding user access to printers, files and other networked services.

h3. --disable-cardclient 
17
18 4 Anders Gustafsson
For encryption, automatically enabled by cwc or cccam. Tvheadend supports connecting to card clients via the cwc (newcamd) and capmt (linux network dvbapi) protocols for so-called 'softcam' descrambling. One example is the OSCAM package that lets you use your regular CA (Conditional Access) smartcard.

26
For excryption, disable another Code Word Client

Sat>IP allows the satellite TV distribution to share a data network and enables display and viewing of the signals on any multimedia IP device equipped with suitable software. A Sat>IP server receives satellite signals and distributes them to IP-connected clients, such as PCs, Tablets or smartphones.

h3. --disable-timeshift
49
50
Disable timeshift or the ability to pause a programme you view for later viewing.
51 7 Anders Gustafsson
52
h3. --disable-zlib 
53
54
In case you do not have zlib and cannot install it. It is used for compression of web content (on the fly) when serving static pages. It's also used in the file bundling builds where the bundled resources may in fact be compressed in the bundle and some will need decompressing before they can be used. But if you disable zlib the bundle will simply not be compressed.
55 8 Anders Gustafsson
56
h3. --disable-pie
57
58
Disable Position Independent Executables whatever that is.

No idea, but I had to add this for it to build :)

Will build completely without libav/ffmpeg support, you'd be missing support for many codecs then though or --enable-libffmpeg_static (to use the included ffmpeg) to configure
109
110
h3. --disable-ffmpeg_static
111
112
Do not link ffmpeg statically. Load dynamically

These all disable various decoders and/or tell tvheadend whether to use statically or dynamically
