Debian Users,

For a package installed via aptitude or apt-get, is there a log or
other source of information describing the "./configure" command used
to configure the package prior to compilation?

Thank you for assistance.

Of the top of my head, I dont think there is anything in a binary
package to indicate this but as a binary package is generated from a
source packages, I guess its in the source packages. Now I dont think
there is a universal way to get this informtion from a source packages
because Debian does not mandate a single build system but many may use
make, so maybe you can create one for make and see if that covers a lot.
Hope that explains

You can download the source and look into the debian/rules file,
configure scripts etc., Another alternative is to look at the build logs
available at http://buildd.debian.org/build.php .
