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 and work properly using an LFS-11.0 platform.

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   \
      -DENABLE_GOOGLE=ON            \
      -DWITH_OPENLDAP=OFF           \
      -DWITH_KRB5=OFF               \
      -DENABLE_INTROSPECTION=ON     \
      -DENABLE_GTK_DOC=OFF          \
      -DWITH_SYSTEMDUSERUNITDIR=no  \
      .. &&
make

To test the results, issue: make test.

Now, as the root user:

make install

Command Explanations

-DENABLE_GOOGLE=ON: This switch enables access to google services via libgdata-0.18.1 and also enables the Google Authentication option.

-DENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON: This switch enables building the Vala bindings. Remove if you don't have Vala-0.52.5 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_SYSTEMDUSERUNITDIR=no: This switch disables installing the systemd units, which are not used for a Sysv build.

[Note]

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.
