See files config.h and pathnames.h to configure Vixie cron for your environment.

sed -i 's@/usr/ucb/vi@/usr/bin/vim@' pathnames.h &&
echo '#define CRON_GROUP "vxicron"' >> config.h &&
make

make install

Multilib

This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is required.

Compile the package:

sed -i 's@/usr/ucb/vi@/usr/bin/vim@' pathnames.h &&
echo '#define CRON_GROUP "vxicron"' >> config.h &&
sed -i 's/-Wno-comment/-Wno-comment ${BUILD32}/' Makefile && 
make

Install the package:

make install

Compile the package:

sed -i 's@/usr/ucb/vi@/usr/bin/vim@' pathnames.h &&
echo '#define CRON_GROUP "vxicron"' >> config.h &&
sed -i 's/-Wno-comment/-Wno-comment ${BUILDN32}/' Makefile && 
make

Install the package:

make install

64Bit

Compile the package:

sed -i 's@/usr/ucb/vi@/usr/bin/vim@' pathnames.h &&
echo '#define CRON_GROUP "vxicron"' >> config.h &&
sed -i 's/-Wno-comment/-Wno-comment ${BUILD64}/' Makefile && 
make
