Evolution is the integrated mail, calendar and address book distributed suite from Ximian, Inc. See http://www.ximian.com/apps/evolution.php3 for more information. Note that Evolution is still beta. This means it may delete all of your mail if you give it the chance. If you are using Evolution, you should subscribe to the Evolution mailing list. If you are interested in hacking on it, you should subscribe to the Evolution Hackers mailing list. Send mail to "evolution-request@ximian.com" or "evolution-hackers-request@ximian.com" with the word "subscribe" in the body of the message. If you are planning to work on any part of Evolution, please send mail to the mailing list first, to avoid duplicated effort (and to make sure that you aren't basing your work on interfaces that are expected to change). There are mailing list archives available at http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/ and http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution-hackers/ There is also an #evolution IRC channel on irc.gnome.org. IF IT DOESN'T WORK ------------------ Did you read the "How to build" section below? :-) If you have built Evolution and it doesn't work, or you can't get it or one of its dependencies to compile, try running the "verify-evolution-install.sh" script in the tools/ subdirectory. It may be able to figure out what went wrong. HOW TO BUILD EVOLUTION ---------------------- *** READ THIS BEFORE YOU START BUILDING ANYTHING! *** Evolution depends on a large number of unreleased and rapidly-changing libraries. 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, and easier to switch between using packages and building it yourself, but it may also 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" or "autogen.sh" when building the other packages you need. Eg: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc If you build in another prefix instead, 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 and ${prefix}/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Dependencies ------------ All of these libraries are available in GNOME CVS, under the given names. Most (but not all) of them are also available as tarballs on ftp.gnome.org. The (*)ed packages are available in Ximian GNOME (http://www.ximian.com/desktop/) Other packages may be available from the Ximian GNOME evolution preview mirror. If installing from packages, remember that you need both the runtime and -devel packages for each library. - gnome-xml - 1.8.10 or later in the 1.0 series, but not from the 2.0 series (If you get this from GNOME CVS, use the tag "LIB_XML_1_X".) (*) - gnome-print - 0.20 or later (*) - gdk-pixbuf - 0.8.0 or later (*) - ORBit - 0.5.6 or later (*) (If you get this from GNOME CVS, use the tag "orbit-stable-0-5".) - oaf - 0.6.0 or later (If you get this from GNOME CVS, use the tag "oaf-stable-0-6") *** If you are using oaf from CVS, you should use the flag *** "--disable-more-warnings" when configure, or it may fail to *** build. - gnome-vfs - 0.4.2 or later *** If you are using gnome-vfs from CVS, you should use the flag *** "--disable-more-warnings" when configuring, or it may fail to *** build. - bonobo - 0.31 or later *** Note that bonobo must be installed with the same --prefix as *** either gnome-libs or evolution for the Makefiles to work *** properly. - libunicode - 0.4 or later, available from http://www.pango.org/download.shtml - gconf - 0.6 or later - gal (GNOME Application Library) - 0.4.99.4 or later - gtkhtml - 0.8 or later - libglade (*) If you want support for PalmPilot syncing (currently experimental so please back up your pilot) you will also need to do the following: 1) pilot-link cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.gnu-designs.com:/cvs/openpalm login The password is just . cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.gnu-designs.com:/cvs/openpalm co pilot-link ./configure --prefix= --with-perl=no --with-java=no --with-tcl=no --with-python=no make make install 2) gnome-pilot cvs -z3 co gnome-pilot ./configure --prefix= --with-pisock= make make install 3) evolution in your evo source dir do ./autogen.sh --prefix= --with-pisock= --enable-pilot-conduits=yes make make install The layout of the source tree is: addressbook: the Address Book UI art: graphics used by evolution calendar: the Calendar UI camel: libcamel, a messaging library used by the mailer.
