## 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

Install Evolution Data Server by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr  \
          -D SYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc   \
          -D ENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON    \
          -D ENABLE_INSTALLED_TESTS=ON  \
          -D WITH_OPENLDAP=OFF          \
          -D WITH_KRB5=OFF              \
          -D ENABLE_INTROSPECTION=ON    \
          -D ENABLE_GTK_DOC=OFF         \
          -D WITH_LIBDB=OFF             \
          -D WITH_SYSTEMDUSERUNITDIR=no \
          -W no-author -G Ninja ..      &&
    ninja

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

To test the results, issue: ninja test. One test, test-book-client-custom-summary, is known to fail.

## Command Explanations

`-D ENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON`: This switch enables building the Vala bindings. Remove it if you don't have Vala-0.56.19 installed.

`-D ENABLE_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.

`-D WITH_KRB5=OFF`: This switch allows building this package without MIT Kerberos V5-1.22.2. If you need Kerberos support in this package, for example to connect to a corporate network, change this switch from OFF to ON.

`-D WITH_LIBDB=OFF`: This switch allows building this package without Berkeley DB (deprecated). sqlite is used for normal operation.

`-D ENABLE_OAUTH2_WEBKITGTK4=OFF`: Use this switch if you did not build WebKitGTK-2.52.6 with GTK-4.

`-D WITH_SYSTEMDUSERUNITDIR=no`: This switch disables installing the systemd units, which are not used for a Sysv build.

### 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.
