It appears to me the last release of vixie-cron is a very old one from 2004, unlikely to compile in a modern environment, but new development has happened in this repo.

Would you consider making a new release that works on modern systems?

Yes! Tell me what systems you mean and I will make from portable to those systems. I'm not sure any distro other than openbsd will import a new version but we should still seem broad portability.

Personally I use Gentoo, so that's probably Linux.

I may look into packaging it for Gentoo, because I'm kinda unhappy with the reliability of existing cron options, but no promises.

ok so the tip of the master branch builds correctly on opensuse leap. please send me your "make" output?

make output:

This looks fine.
