title: How to re-run ./configure with the same parameters?
body: <p>A few months ago I installed an application from source by executing</p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure --whatever
  make
  sudo make install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I reinstalled my OS recently and now I would like to install this application again, but I don't remember what compile flags I used back then. However, since I kept all files from my home, I still have the source code and my original build. Is there a way to recover the ./configure parameters I used originally?</p>
