Run configure:

Configure should complete successfully at this point. Make, however is a different story...

./configure

Run Make:

make

You will almost certainly be missing things that will make the build fail, here are a few hints at packates taht you'll need:

• mono-devel
• evolution-devel
• autoconf
• automake
• gcc
• gnome-pilot-devel

Set up your account:

At this point you should be able to launch Evolution, and be presented with the Account Setup Druid. I found that I had to run through it about 4 times before it completed successfully: It got stuck on synchronizing my Calendar, then again on my Contacts. Once that completed, however, Evolution launched and ran reasonably well.

I find that it does crash fairly regularly, which is deeply annoying, but I haven't sleuthed out why yet.

Done!

I hope this is helpful, please feel free to contact us if you get stuck!
