Chapter 33. GNOME Core Packages

Evolution Data Server-3.2.2

Introduction to Evolution Data Server

The Evolution Data Server package provides a unified backend for programs that work with contacts, tasks, and calendar information. It was originally developed for Evolution (hence the name), but is now used by other packages as well.

This package is known to build using an LFS 7.0 platform but has not been tested.

Package Information

Evolution Data Server Dependencies

Required

Berkeley DB-5.2.36, GConf-3.2.3, gnome-online-accounts-3.2.1, Gperf-3.0.4, intltool-0.50.0, libgdata-0.10.1, libgnome-keyring-2.30.1, libical-0.48, NSS-3.13.1, and SQLite-3.7.10

Recommended

libgweather-2.30.2, and OpenSSL-1.0.0e

The NSS package is not required if you have Firefox-10.0.1, Thunderbird-10.0, or SeaMonkey-2.7.1 installed. These packages contain internal copies of NSS (or they used a system-installed copy). If any of the three packages are installed, one way or another you will already have NSS/NSPR libraries on your system.

Optional

GTK-Doc-1.18, Heimdal-1.4 or MIT Kerberos V5-1.6, a MTA (that provides a sendmail command), OpenLDAP-2.4.23, and Vala-0.14.1

Installation of Evolution Data Server

Install Evolution Data Server by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX \
            --libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evolution-data-server-3.2 &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check. Two tests are known to fail, the rest should pass if run from a GNOME desktop - if you are in the middle of building the desktop, but wish to run these tests, you can leave the build directory in place and run the tests later, when D-Bus and all the GNOME daemons are running. Like many of the GNOME packages, the testsuite is expected to be run when you are already using a (previous) GNOME system.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX: Setting the prefix using this parameter will ensure that the prefix is consistent with the installation environment and the package will be installed in the correct location.

--libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evolution-data-server-3.2: This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location of $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evolution-data-server-3.2 instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec.

--with-nspr-includes=/path/to/include/nspr: This parameter specifies the location of the NSPR header files, not needed if nspr was installed in /usr.

--with-nss-includes=/path/to/include/nss: This parameter specifies the location of the NSS header files, not needed if nss was installed in /usr.

--without-weather: Use this option to disable the weather calendar backend and is required if libgweather is not installed.

--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to rebuild and install the API documentation.

[Note]

Note

To enable many of the optional dependencies, review the information from ./configure --help for the necessary parameters you must pass to the configure script.
