evolution-data-server-3.46.4
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.

Note
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages
properly if dependencies have been updated since the most recent
stable versions of the book.

Installation of Evolution Data Server
Install Evolution Data Server by
running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc \
-DENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON \
-DENABLE_INSTALLED_TESTS=ON \
-DWITH_OPENLDAP=OFF \
-DWITH_KRB5=OFF \
-DENABLE_INTROSPECTION=ON \
-DENABLE_GTK_DOC=OFF \
-DWITH_LIBDB=OFF \
-DENABLE_OAUTH2_WEBKITGTK4=OFF \
.. &&
make
Now, as the root user:
make install
To test the results, issue: make
test.
Command Explanations
-DENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON:
This switch enables building the Vala bindings. Remove if you don't
have Vala-0.56.7 installed.
-DENABLE_GTK_DOC=OFF: This
switch disables building the API documentation. It is broken for
this package due to the use of a long deprecated gtk-doc program
that is no longer available.
-DWITH_LIBDB=OFF: This
switch allows building this package without Berkeley
DB-5.3.28. This package only uses Berkeley
DB-5.3.28 to import data from very outdated releases. SQLite-3.41.2 is used for normal operation.
-DENABLE_OAUTH2_WEBKITGTK4=OFF: This
switch works around a problem where the gtk-4 version of WebKit
would be needed to show OAuth2 login prompts.
Note
To enable many of the optional dependencies, review the
information from cmake -L
CMakeLists.txt for the necessary parameters you
must pass to the cmake command.
