This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.2 platform.

## 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               \
          -W no-dev -G Ninja ..           &&
    ninja

Now, as the `root` user:

    ninja install

To test the results, issue: ninja test.

## Command Explanations

`-D ENABLE_VALA_BINDINGS=ON`: This switch enables building the Vala bindings. Remove it if you don't have Vala-0.56.17 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_LIBDB=OFF`: This switch allows building this package without Berkeley DB (deprecated). SQLite-3.46.1 is used for normal operation.

`-D ENABLE_OAUTH2_WEBKITGTK4=OFF`: Use this switch if you did not build WebKitGTK-2.44.3 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.
