Linux configure-make-make install: how to check which options were used in configure

Hello experts

I have a rather newbie question:

Is there any way to check with which options was the ./configure command executed for any installation under linux prior the make and make-install command?  

Thanks in advance

Yes.  If you have the makefile, check it out.  It should show the options.

Check "configure" file itself.
Search something like "Usage" , or simply type
./configure -h
or
./configure --help

It will show all the available options and descriptions. Each description might tell you what is the "default".

However, it depends on the software. Some software give you a lot of description some are not.

@farzanj:
there's a Makefile in the install directory, but can't find any the options used during the config process

@farzanj and @ShareefHuddle:
I tried the configure --help command, but it shows the options available, not the options used during the compilation process :(
