How to recover configure command line arguments used before?


I have ran configure on a software project a long time ago and have forgotten which command line arguments I had used at the time. Since then the configure script changed and, so now I want to rerun configure with the same arguments to update the Makefile.

I have the old Makefile and configure script as well as the old sources. The history file for my CLI doesn't have it anymore.

How can I recover which command line arguments were used when I originally ran configure?


Solution

  • You can find the arguments used by your last configure call in config.log and config.status.
