Command Explanations

--enable-gtk3: Use this switch if you want to build Midori with GTK+ 3 dependencies.

--enable-apidocs: Use this switch if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to build and install the API documentation.

export NOCOLOR=1: This prevents the build process outputting colored text. Colored text is fine if you're running the commands in a terminal, but if you compile it with a script and pipe the output to a log file the control characters that color the text can makehe log file difficult to read with a text editor.
