[minor suggestion] add option to dump build configuration i.e. the "./configure" commandline with which the present version was built #1320

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Some programs like php have an option ( php -i ) which dumps the internal 
configuration and especially the whole ./configure command line with which it 
was built.

Personally, I find this command extremely useful, because with a "php -i | grep 
configure" command I can dump the exact parameters and re-built a new version 
(of php) after pulling it from the repository.

Just to give you an indication why I am interested in this option: I always 
have to build Tesseract with "./configure --prefix=/usr/local 
--with-extra-libraries="/usr/local/lib" configuration, and have to look up this 
string in my "how to build Tesseract" scratchpad memo.

Hereby I suggest to think about my proposal to integrate a similar option into 
Tesseract. It's not a defect, it's a minor (marginal) suggestion to improve 
Tesseract's and to make developers' life easier.

1. Developer should how (s)he is compiling sw.
2. Information about compilation is store on linux config.log.
