Qt libraries 4.7.2 for Windows (Visual Studio 2008)
-
I have just downloaded and successfully installed the pre-compiled libraries for Windows.
Could someone please help me understand which configure options are enabled in this build? Specifically, I am interested to learn whether OpenSSL is enabled (-openssl-linked option).
Thanks!

I guess not.
If you look into the configure file of source code distribution you will find following section:
@
-no-openssl ........ Do not compile support for OpenSSL.- -openssl ........... Enable run-time OpenSSL support.
-openssl-linked .... Enabled linked OpenSSL support.
@
Since there is a '+' in front of "openssl" this is the default option for generating the distribution.
However, in order to be sure I would recomment to compile the complete library with the option you require. Besides taking a while it is typically not very challenging as far as you are not compiling for exotic platforms.
[EDIT: fixed formatting, Volker]
- -openssl ........... Enable run-time OpenSSL support.

So is it safe to assume that the pre-compiled library was built with only the default options?

The only one who may be able to answer your question without any doubts is the engineer running the scripts.
However, see it from a logical viewpoint. It is not logical to build different versions not observing the default values. There might be exceptions for specific platforms, but I would not expect it for desptop builds. The default values are set to represent the typical values for compilation. If the Qt engineers would do different it would create quite a mess for them.
If you want to make very sure what you have, you have to generate the build yourself. That is the only recommendation I can give you. It takes a bit of time, but it worked so far for me.
