No report-builder in LibreOffice Base

LibreOffice Base includes a report builder function to build detailed reports against a database. For some reason this functionality is absent from the 7.6.2.1 LibreOffice port/package. (I'm new to FreeBSD and I don't know if it was included in previous builds.)

Apache OpenOffice uses an extension -- oracle-report-builder.oxt -- to provide this functionality, but this extension does not work with LibreOffice. Some Linux distributions -- like Ubuntu -- make the report builder a separate package, but I haven't been able to find a similar package through 'pkg search' or on freshports.

I wondering if there is a way to add the report-builder functionality to LibreOffice Base on Freebsd?
 
Thanks for the suggestion. In fact I need to keep the mariadb option since I am connecting to a mysql server backend.

I did however take a close look at the Makefile. (I originally installed as a package rather than building from ports.) Lo and behold I found this line under CONFIGURE_ARGS:
--disable-report-builder

I deleted that line from Makefile and built the port, and the report builder functions are now working properly.
