Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &evolution-md5sum; Download size: &evolution-size; Estimated disk space required: &evolution-buildsize; Estimated build time: &evolution-time; Evolution Dependencies Required , , and Recommended (For SSL and S/MIME support) The NSS package is not required if you have , , or Mozilla installed. These packages contain internal copies of NSS (or they used a system-installed copy). If any of the four packages are installed, one way or another you will already have NSS/NSPR libraries on your system. Optional , , , GNOME Spell, or , krb4, GNOME Pilot conduits (requires then GNOME Pilot), GStreamer-0.8.x, NetworkManager (download), , Mono, , , and User Notes: Installation of Evolution Install Evolution by running the following commands: The instructions below assume you have the NSS/NSPR libraries installed on your system. If you elected not to install NSS (or one of the other packages mentioned above), you'll need to remove the following two parameter settings from the configure command below: --enable-nss --enable-smime The Evolution configure script only looks for the stand-alone NSS package and the Mozilla and Firefox browsers for the NSS/NSPR libraries. If you are using Thunderbird as your source for the NSS/NSPR libraries, you will have to add the following two parameter settings to the configure command below: --with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/nspr --with-nss-includes=/usr/include/nss ./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \ --sysconfdir=&gnome-etc-dir; \ --localstatedir=/var/lib \ --libexecdir=$(pkg-config \ --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib \ --enable-nntp \ --enable-nss \ --enable-smime && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && ln -v -s evolution-2.10 \ $(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/bin/evolution Command Explanations --libexecdir=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib: This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred location of $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evolution instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/libexec/evolution. --enable-nntp: This parameter is used to build the Usenet news (NNTP) backend. --enable-nss: This parameter is used to pull in the Mozilla Network Security Services libraries for SSL support. --enable-smime: This parameter is used to pull in the Mozilla Network Security Services libraries for S/MIME support. : This parameter will compile LDAP support into Evolution. : This parameter will compile Kerberos5 support into Evolution. : This parameter will build the GNOME Pilot conduits allowing you to synchronize Evolution data on a Palm device. ln -v -s evolution-2.10 $(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/bin/evolution: This optional command creates a convenience symlink to the evolution-2.10 binary. : Use this parameter if you want the installation process to create a .desktop file in the KDE global desktop file directory.
