uncompress the archive :
| bash$ tar -xzf fcron-X.Y.Z.src.tar.gz | 
cd to the archive directory
| bash$ cd fcron-X.Y.Z | 
run the configure script :
| bash$./configure | 
The command make install asks you by default some questions you have to answer. To avoid that (which can be useful for automatic installers), you can use the ./configure's option
--with-answer-alland/or--with-boot-install(see "./configure--help" for more details).
You may also want to change the place where fcron will be installed: you can use the configure 's option
--prefixto do that. For instance : ./configure--prefix=/usr/local(default is prefix=/usr)
To disable the use of PAM, SE Linux or fcrondyn, use configure's option
--with-pam=no,--with-selinux=noand/or--with-fcrondyn=no.
To debug fcron, you should use configure 's option
--with-debug.
You can get info on the others configure 's options by running "./configure
--help".

(optional) check the file config.h, and change it if necessary (the configurable part is on the top of the file and clearly delimited).
compile :
| bash$ make | 
then install binaries as root :
| bash$ su root | 
| bash# make install | 
You can now run fcron and fcrontab.
This is a POSIX conforming software. You must have a POSIX compiler (gcc for example) in order to compile it.
This software has been written for GNU/Linux systems. If you want to port it on an other Unix platform (thank you if you do it), try to modify - if possible - only the configure script. Please send me any modifications at
<fcron@free.fr>in order to include it in future releases.
