These are steps how to setup local envinronment to build evolution
and its dependencies from sources.
a) http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-setup.exe/download
Destination folder: C:\MinGW
Install packages:
- Basic setup:
- mingw-developer-toolkit
- msys-base
- All Packages
- msys-patch
- msys-perl
- msys-unzip
- msys-wget
b) http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/mingw-builds-install/mingw-builds-install.exe/download
Version: 4.8.1
Architecture: x32
Threads: posix
Exception: dwarf
Build revision: 5
Destination folder: C:\MinGW64
c) Replace MinGW version of gcc & co. with the MinGW64 version (mainly for webkitgtk)
- delete all but 'msys' directories in C:\MinGW\
- move all directories from C:\MinGW64\mingw32\ to C:MinGW\
d) http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/python-2.7.6.msi
Destination folder: C:\Python27
e) Add to PATH: C:\Python27;C:\MinGW\bin
f) go to evolution checkout, into evolution\win32\ subfolder and execute:
$ source setup-env
which setups build environment. This can take some addition
parameters, see the top of setup-env for more information.
g) build evolution from sources with:
$ make evolution
or with some additional software:
$ make addons
h) Make sure dbus-daemon is running before evolution is run, which can
be done with $PREFIX\deps\bin\dbus-launch.exe
i) Run 'evolution'
