Some of these libraries in turn depend on other unreleased -and rapidly-changing libraries. - -Building Evolution is HARD, and it's going to stay hard until all of -the libraries it depends on stabilize, and there's nothing we can do -to make it any easier until then. - - -General Principles ------------------- - -First you have to decide whether you want to install Evolution (and -its dependencies) into the same prefix as the rest of your GNOME -install, or into a new prefix. Installing everything into the same -prefix as the rest of your GNOME install will make it much easier to -build and run programs, but may make it harder to uninstall later. - -If you want to install into the same prefix as the rest of GNOME, -type: - - gnome-config --prefix - gnome-config --sysconfdir - -and remember the answers, and pass them to "configure" and "autogen" -when building the other packages you need. Eg: - - ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc - - -If you do not do this, you will need to set the GNOME_PATH environment -variable (and ACLOCAL_FLAGS as well if building from CVS) to include -the prefix you install into. Eg: - - export GNOME_PATH=/usr/local - export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal" - -(Assuming your shell is bash, and you installed into /usr/local.) You -need to set GNOME_PATH both during compiling AND when you run -evolution. Remember also that if you're installing into an odd prefix -such as /evolution, that you also need to make sure to put -${prefix}/bin in your PATH. - -If you install Evolution into a different prefix from OAF, you will -also need to set OAF_INFO_PATH to include the directory where the -oafinfo files are installed (${prefix}/share/oaf). (OAF will -eventually obey the GNOME_PATH variable, but it does not do so -currently.) Eg: - - export OAF_INFO_PATH=/usr/local/share/oaf - -If you are already running an oafd, you will need to kill it after -setting that variable so it gets restarted later with that in its -environment. - - -Dependencies ------------- - -All of these libraries are available in GNOME CVS, under the given -names.
