There is a risk with that method. Some build system try to be smart
and automatically turn off optional features if they don't find some
library that those features require. When the build seems to work,
you still need to check that all the components and features that the
software is supposed to have are actually there.
Sure, you should check build logs and the software's docs on what it
needs to build too.
