-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.
-
- - xml-i18n-tools - 0.7 or later (*)
-
- - 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 - 0.6.2 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 - 0.33 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) - 0.4.99.8 or later
-
- - gtkhtml - 0.8.2 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 <ENTER>.
-cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.gnu-designs.com:/cvs/openpalm co pilot-link
-./configure --prefix=<pilot-link-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=<gnome-pilot-prefix> --with-pisock=<pilot-link-prefix>
-make
-make install
-
-3) evolution
-in your evo source dir do ./autogen.sh --prefix=<evo-prefix>
---with-pisock=<pilot-link-prefix> --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.
- Camel is inspired by Sun's JavaMail
- (http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/) and the
- IMAPv4 spec (RFC 2060).
-composer: the message composer UI
-data: the .desktop file for Evolution
-default_user: initial Evolution config files for new users
-devel-docs: entirely inadequate documentation
-doc: more adequate documentation
-e-util: utility code used by various parts of Evolution
-filter: libfilter, a mail filtering library
-libibex: an indexing library used by the mailer
-libical: a library for the iCalendar format (RFC 2445-2446)
-libversit: a library for the vCard (RFC 2425-2426) and vCalendar
- (http://www.imc.org/pdi/vcal-10.txt) formats
-mail: the mail display UI
-shell: the Evolution shell (the main program that launches
- the other components)
-tests: some test programs
-tools: utilities, notably "killev", a script to kill of all
- of the Evolution components
-widgets: widgets used by Evolution, including the shortcut bar
-wombat: Has source code that will load in the addressbook
- and calendar backend, and will form the server
- process we'll be using
