I mean all of applications, impossible?
such as apache, mysql
I installed them via apt-get, but I want to check the configure options, e.g. --prefix, is there a way?

Either in a terminal, or in a google search field type "man <appname>"
Example "man mysql"
Some apps don't have a man page but many do.0 -

When you you compiling the new software you can issue the command "./configure --help" to review all of the options.
If you are wanting to view the configure flags for pre-compiled packages it will be more difficult because not all applications use autotools and because each distro using a different method to build their packages. If you are looking for the flags on pre-build packages then we will need to know which distro you are using so we can refer you to a site or file to locate that information.0 -

You can always have a look at the source packages (src-deb and srpm). In srpm there'll be a whatever.spec file where the build process is described.
Here is an extract of a spec file for a perl module I made:%build %{__perl} Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS="vendor" PREFIX="%{buildroot}%{_prefix}" %{__make} %{?_smp_mflags} %install %{__rm} -rf %{buildroot} %{__make} pure_install
