With autotools I use --enable-debug=full.

How is this done with cmake ?

I built with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug but there is no

Is there anything in the build log that lets me know

how I built a package?

Try -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-g"

I added that flag. Yet the package sizes are the same.

1. How do I know whether or not a package is built with debug support?

Run make VERBOSE=1 and check if -g parameter is passed to compiler.

2. Does the build log provide a clue?

See previous answer.

3. Should the package size be larger?

Yes, much larger. But ensure that binaries are not stripped at install stage (you should not see "-s" parameter passed to linker). Use "file" to check if the binary is stripped or no.

4. Is there a simple test after installing the package to test for

debugging support?

Dunno.

Please be verbose. :)
