How do I compile wxWidgets with the same options as the package as the repository?

Question

I am compiling wxWidgets as a pre-step to compiling the newest version of pgAdmin3 since there isn't a deb version in the repository that supports version postgres 9.2. I am having troubles and eliminating possibilities.

The default package has a version of wxWidgets that works with pgAdmin3. I want to install the same options of this package.

When I type:

./configure --help

I get a whole host of options. How do I find out the options used to compile the default package version so I can match its functionality.

I have tried to use:

--enable-debug --enable-button --enable-ect.

but after 10 or so options I worry that I will miss something (and according to the output of the other compile I am) or I will add something that is conflicting.

Is there a list of options that the repository is using for wxWidgets.

Using Mint Nadia 14/Ubuntu 12.10.

Answer 1

There's a simple way,

First use apt-get source XXX to get the source code,

When extraction completes, enter the folder, i.e XXX-version, and check the debian/control file, normally you would see a DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS += line, that's where you should look at.

I don't think you need any special options to build wxWidgets for pgAdmin. So just build it with default options.
