Building and Installing

To build evolution-python perform the following steps

  • From SVN 
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/ --enable-evolution --enable-evolution-ecal && make && sudo make install
  • From Tarball (<= 0.0.4) 
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/ && make && sudo make install

Notes

  • To disable ECal support (enabled by default) pass --enable-evolution=ecal=no to autogen.sh/configure
  • If you install with prefix to somewhere other that /usr/ you must remember to set your PYTHONPATH evironment variable so that python will pickup the new library
