    <para>
      <application>Evolution Data Server</application> package provides
      a unified backend for programs that work with contacts, tasks, and calendar
      information. It was originally developed for
      <application>Evolution</application> (hence the name), but is now used by
      other packages as well.

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

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

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib/evolution-data-server \
            --enable-vala-bindings &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>. Two tests are known 
      to fail, the rest should pass if run from a <application>GNOME</application> 
      desktop - if you are in the middle of building the desktop, but wish to run 
      these tests, you can leave the build directory in place and run the tests later, 
      when <application>D-Bus</application> and all the <application>GNOME</application> 
      daemons are running. Like many of the <application>GNOME</application> packages, 
      the testsuite is expected to be run when you are already using a (previous) 
      <application>GNOME</application> system.

    <para>
      <parameter>--libexecdir=/usr/lib/evolution-data-server</parameter>:
      This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred
      location of <filename class="directory">/usr/lib/evolution-data-server</filename>
      instead of <filename class="directory">/usr/libexec</filename>.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--enable-vala-bindings</option>: This option enables
      building of the Vala bindings. Remove if you don't have
      <xref linkend="vala"/> installed.
    </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-krb5=/usr</parameter>: Enables Kerberos 5 support.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--with-openldap</option>: Enables LDAP support.

    <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.
