OpenCV built in Debug or Release mode?

Question

I want to know for sure if OpenCV was built in Debug or Release Mode.

I am running Linux Mint 17.1 Rebbeca.

I installed OpenCV by Synaptic.

After searching in google and in my computer I found that one of the configuration files is OpenCVModules-release.cmake - but still I cannot say that this file was used in compilation time.

Do you know another method to check how the OpenCV was built?

Thank you.

try a :

System.out.println(Core.getBuildInformation());

(or, for python):

print cv2.getBuildInformation()

you should see something like:
