I installed anacron from fink. It works like crontab, except that if a job was not run at the given schedule because the Mac was sleeping or turned off, it runs it later when the Mac is on. I'd like to compile it without fink but I didn't manage it yet.

You have some objection to having your software easily upgraded, managed and removed, that makes you want to install it yourself instead of via fink? :)

As nice as that is, Ben, there are still some reasons for not using Fink. I sometimes want to install an executable to /usr/local/ or just /usr. It makes compiling other software easier when you don't have to set up $PATH and such to find the Fink header files and libraries. Abiword actually has a configure switch specifically to address this, but not every OSS package out there is so comprehensive. |
