How to find options used to build a package

📅 2014-Aug-05 ⬩ ✍️ Ashwin Nanjappa ⬩ 🏷️ source package ⬩ 📚 Archive

Sometimes you may want to find out the configuration options that were used to build a package that you download and install. For example, if a certain feature has not been built into a program or library from a package, you may need to build that program or library from source to use that feature.

Finding out the build rules used to build a package is easy:

$ apt-get source opencv

Tried with: OpenCV 2.4.8 and Ubuntu 14.04
