evolution-data-server-3.50.1
Introduction to Evolution Data Server
The Evolution Data Server package provides
a unified backend for programs that work with contacts, tasks, and calendar
information. It was originally developed for
Evolution (hence the name), but is now used by
other packages as well.

Note
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run
some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated
since the most recent stable versions of the books.

Installation of Evolution Data Server
First, fix a build failure when using libxml2-2.12.x:
sed -i '/xpathInternals.h/a #include <libxml/globals.h>' src/libedataserver/e-xml-utils.c
Install Evolution Data Server by running
the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc \
-DENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON \
-DENABLE_INSTALLED_TESTS=ON \
-DWITH_OPENLDAP=OFF \
-DWITH_KRB5=OFF \
-DENABLE_INTROSPECTION=ON \
-DENABLE_GTK_DOC=OFF \
-DWITH_LIBDB=OFF \
-Wno-dev -G Ninja .. &&
ninja
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Command Explanations
-DENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON: This switch
enables building the Vala bindings. Remove it if you don't
have Vala-0.56.14 installed.
-DENABLE_GTK_DOC=OFF: This switch
disables building the API documentation. It is broken for
this package due to the use of a long deprecated gtk-doc program
that is no longer available.
-DWITH_LIBDB=OFF: This switch allows building
this package without Berkeley DB (deprecated).
SQLite-3.44.2 is used for normal operation.
-DENABLE_OAUTH2_WEBKITGTK4=OFF: Use this switch if
you did not build WebKitGTK-2.42.2 with GTK-4.
Note
To enable many of the optional dependencies, review the information
from cmake -L CMakeLists.txt for the necessary
parameters you must pass to the cmake command.
