    <title>Installation of Evolution Data Server</title>

    <para>Install <application>Evolution Data Server</application> by running
    the following commands:</para>

    <note>
      <para>The instructions below assume you have the NSS/NSPR libraries
      installed on your system. If you elected not to install
      <application>NSS</application> (or one of the other packages mentioned
      above), you'll need to remove the following two parameter settings from
      the <command>configure</command> command below:</para>

      <literallayout><parameter>            --enable-nss
            --enable-smime</parameter></literallayout>

      <para>The <application>Evolution</application>
      <command>configure</command> script does not look for the
      <application>Thunderbird</application> mail client for the NSS/NSPR
      libraries. If you are using <application>Thunderbird</application> as
      your source for the NSS/NSPR libraries, you will have to add the
      following two parameter settings to the <command>configure</command>
      command below:</para>

      <literallayout><parameter>            --with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/nspr
            --with-nss-includes=/usr/include/nss</parameter></literallayout>

    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make -k check</command>. Some
    tests are known to fail, however most should pass.</para>

    <para><parameter>--libexecdir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix

    the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location of
    <filename
    class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2</filename>
    instead of <filename
    class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/libexec</filename>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-nntp</parameter>: This parameter is used to build
    the Usenet news (NNTP) backend.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-gnome-keyring</parameter>: This parameter is used
    so that passwords are stored using the
    <application>gnome-keyring</application> storage manager.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-nss</parameter>: This parameter is used to pull
    in the Mozilla Network Security Services libraries for SSL support.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-smime</parameter>: This parameter is used to pull
    in the Mozilla Network Security Services libraries for S/MIME
    support.</para>

    <para><option>--without-weather</option>: Use this option to disable the
    weather calendar backend and is required if
    <application>libgweather</application> is not installed.</para>

    <!--
    <para><parameter>-with-{nspr,nss}-includes</parameter>: This parameter is
    used to identify where the Mozilla Network Security Services interface
    headers are located. By default,
    <application>Evolution Data Server</application> uses
    <filename>mozilla-{nss,nspr}.pc</filename> files to locate the headers
    and chances are you will not have <application>Mozilla</application>
    installed.</para>

    <note>
      <para>To enable many of the optional dependencies, review the information
      from <command>./configure --help</command> for the necessary parameters
      you must pass to the <command>configure</command> script.</para>
