Installation of Evolution Data Server

Install Evolution Data Server by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr   \
      -DENABLE_UOA=OFF              \
      -DENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON     \
      -DENABLE_INSTALLED_TESTS=ON   \
      -DENABLE_GOOGLE=ON            \
      -DENABLE_GOOGLE_AUTH=OFF      \
      -DWITH_OPENLDAP=OFF           \
      -DWITH_KRB5=OFF               \
      -DENABLE_INTROSPECTION=ON     \
      -DENABLE_GTK_DOC=OFF          \
      .. &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

-DENABLE_GOOGLE_AUTH=OFF: This flag is used to disable the Google Authentication functionality within Evolution Data Server. Omit if you have installed Google Authenticator.

-DENABLE_UOA=OFF: This flag is used to disable Ubuntu Online Accounts support in Evolution Data Server. Remove it if you have installed Accounts-SSO.

-DENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON: This switch enables building the Vala bindings. Remove if you don't have Vala-0.38.8 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.

[Note]

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.
