Back to files

Thanks for giving micron a try. Important configuration options that you'll probably want to use are as follows:

  --prefix=PREFIX         Location where the binaries and docuemntation will be
                          installed.
  --sysconfdir=DIR        Location where the system crontab will live... You'll
                          probably want to override this to be /etc
  --localstatedir=DIR     Location where the user crontab files and lock file
                          will live... You'll probably want to override this
                          to be /var
  --enable-zero-mem=overwrite
                          Zero out memory before freeing it. Until Micron
                          becomes mature, this may be a good compile-time
                          option to specify, as it causes several checks
                          to be performed on allocated memory from the heap.
                          If enabled, you'll most likely also want to specify
                          --enable-assertions.
  --enable-assertions     Enable assertions in the code (default is no)
  --with-default-editor   Editor to use with microntab -e (default is
                          /usr/bin/vi)

When I install micron on a development box, I usually run configure as follows: ./configure --enable-zero-mem=overwrite --enable-assertions \

--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
