Description

It should be noted that if NSS was usesd: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/nss.html

...then you HAVE to pass the following options to evolution data server: --with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/nspr --with-nss-includes=/usr/include/nss

Otherwise evolution data server will fail to compile, as it can't find the proper NSS files it needs

I'll go ahead and fix these two (the next numbered ticket as well as this one). Currently NSS is a recommended dep, but I'll add a note that you don't need it if you have SeaMonkey, Firefox or T-Bird installed.

Next, I'll place a prominent note before the configuration of the Evolution packages explaining about the NSS switches, and what you may have to do so that the packages will pick up the NSS/NSPR location.

Added clarification to the instructions.

  1. Explained that Firefox, TBird or Monkey can be used.
  2. Added the required parameters to enable NSS (dependency is

required, so might as well.

  1. Added a note saying what to do if you don't have NSS installed.
