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 - lates from xml-i18n-tools-stable-1-x branch in - GNOME CVS (0.8.2 is too old) - - - 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_BRANCH".) - (*) - - - gnome-print - 0.25 or later (*) - - - gdk-pixbuf - 0.9.0 or later (*) - - - ORBit - 0.5.8 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. - - - gconf - 0.6 or later. - - - gnome-vfs - 1.0.0 or later (If you get this from GNOME CVS, use - the tag "gnome-vfs-1-0") - - *** If you are using gnome-vfs from CVS, you should use the flag - *** "--disable-more-warnings" when configuring, or it may fail to - *** build. - - - libglade - 0.14 or later - - - bonobo - 1.0.3 or later - - *** Note that bonobo must be installed with the same --prefix as - *** either gnome-libs or evolution for the Makefiles to work - *** properly. - - - gal (GNOME Application Library) - 0.7.99.3 or later - - - gtkhtml - later than 0.9.3 - - - Berkeley's libdb - 3.1.17 - - db3 is available from www.sleepycat.com.
