Evolution is the integrated mail, calendar and address book
|
|
distributed suite from Helix Code, Inc.
|
|
|
|
See http://www.helixcode.com/apps/evolution.php3 for more information.
|
|
|
|
Note that Evolution is still pre-alpha. This means even if you manage
|
|
to compile and run it, you might not be able to figure out how to tell
|
|
it to accidentally delete all of your mail.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in hacking on Evolution, you should subscribe to
|
|
the Evolution mailing list. Send mail to
|
|
"evolution-request@helixcode.com" with the word "subscribe" in the
|
|
body of the message. If you are planning to work on any part of
|
|
Evolution, please send mail to the mailing list first, to avoid
|
|
duplicated effort (and to make sure that you aren't basing your work
|
|
on interfaces that are expected to change).
|
|
|
|
There is a mailing list archive available at
|
|
http://lists.helixcode.com/archives/public/evolution/
|
|
|
|
There is also an #evolution IRC channel on irc.gnome.org.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evolution depends on the following non-core GNOME libraries, which
|
|
are all in GNOME CVS under the given names. (If you build them in
|
|
the order they are listed, then the dependencies will all work out
|
|
correctly.)
|
|
|
|
gnome-xml - currently, only 1.8.7 works. Earlier versions have
|
|
a bug in code that Evolution needs, and the 2.0 branch is not
|
|
source or binary compatible. If you get this from GNOME CVS,
|
|
use the tag "LIB_XML_1_X".
|
|
|
|
gnome-print
|
|
|
|
bonobo - Evolution always tracks the latest CVS versions of
|
|
bonobo. Released versions will virtually always be too old.
|
|
*** Note that this must be installed with the same --prefix as
|
|
*** gnome-libs for the Makefiles to work properly.
|
|
|
|
gdk-pixbuf - 0.7.0 (or later?)
|
|
|
|
gnome-vfs
|
|
|
|
gtkhtml - Evolution might work with the released versions of
|
|
this, but the CVS versions tend to be less buggy and more
|
|
featureful.
|
|
|
|
libglade
|
|
|
|
libunicode
|
|
|
|
You also need a recent copy of ORBit. At the present time, the version
|
|
in Helix GNOME is the only released version that is new enough. If you
|
|
don't have that, you should check out ORBit from GNOME CVS with the
|
|
option "-r orbit-stable-0-5" to get the recent stable branch.
|
|
|
|
The Palm-synchronization code, when it is incorporated, will require
|
|
the pilot-link package. There is most likely a package for this in
|
|
your OS of choice (the name may be "pilot-link" or "libpisock"). If
|
|
not, you can get the source at ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/
|
|
|
|
You will most likely want to include the option
|
|
--sysconfdir=`gnome-config --sysconfdir`
|
|
when configuring, to make the .gnorba files get installed into the
|
|
system gnorba directory. If you don't do that, you'll need to either
|
|
a) set GNOME_PATH to include the prefix you install into
|
|
(eg, GNOME_PATH=/usr/local) OR
|
|
b) set GNOME_GNORBA_PATH to the gnorba directory in the
|
|
prefix you install into
|
|
(eg, GNOME_GNORBA_PATH=/usr/local/etc/CORBA/servers)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The layout of the source tree is:
|
|
|
|
addressbook: the Address Book UI
|
|
calendar: the Calendar UI
|
|
camel: libcamel, a messaging library used by the mailer.
|
|
Camel is inspired by Sun's JavaMail
|
|
(http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/) and the
|
|
IMAPv4 spec (RFC 2060).
|
|
wombat: Has source code that will load in the addressbook
|
|
and calendar backend, and will form the server
|
|
process we'll be using
|
|
composer: the message composer UI
|
|
data: the .desktop file for Evolution
|
|
devel-docs: entirely inadequate documentation
|
|
doc: more inadequate documentation, and some nice white
|
|
papers
|
|
e-util: utility code used by various parts of Evolution
|
|
filter: libfilter, a mail filtering library
|
|
libibex: an indexing library used by the mailer
|
|
libical: a library for the iCalendar format (RFC 2445-2446)
|
|
libversit: a library for the vCard (RFC 2425-2426) and vCalendar
|
|
(http://www.imc.org/pdi/vcal-10.txt) formats
|
|
mail: the mail display UI
|
|
shell: the Evolution shell (the main program that launches
|
|
the other components)
|
|
tests: some test programs
|
|
widgets: widgets used by Evolution, including the shortcut bar,
|
|
ETable, and EText
