    <para>The <application>Evolution Data Server</application> package provides
    a unified backend for programs that work with contacts, tasks, and calendar
    information. It was originally developed for
    <application>Evolution</application> (hence the name), but is now used by

    <title>Installation of Evolution Data Server</title>

    <para>Install <application>Evolution Data Server</application> by running
    the following commands:</para>

<!-- the install creates $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evolution-data-server, so
also use that directory, rahter than a versioned directory, for libexec -->
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=$GNOME_PREFIX \
            --libexecdir=$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evolution-data-server &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>. Two
    tests are known to fail, the rest should pass if run from a
    <application>GNOME</application> desktop - if you are in the middle of building
    the desktop, but wish to run these tests, you can leave the build directory in
    place and run the tests later, when <application>D-Bus</application> and all
    the <application>GNOME</application> daemons are running. Like many of the
    <application>GNOME</application> packages, the testsuite is expected to be run
    when you are already using a (previous) <application>GNOME</application> system.

    This parameter causes the libexec files to be installed in the preferred
    location of <filename
    class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/lib/evolution-data-server</filename>
    instead of <filename
    class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/libexec</filename>.</para>

    <!-- enabled by default
    <para><parameter>\-\-enable-nntp</parameter>: This parameter is used to build
    the Usenet news (NNTP) backend.</para>-->

    <!-- gnome-keyring is now *required*
    <para><parameter>\-\-enable-gnome-keyring</parameter>: This parameter is used
    so that passwords are stored using the
    <application>gnome-keyring</application> storage manager.</para>-->

    <!--- again, enabled by default
    <para><parameter>\-\-enable-smime</parameter>: This parameter is used to pull
    in the Mozilla Network Security Services libraries for S/MIME
    support.</para>-->

    <para><option>--with-nspr-includes=/path/to/include/nspr</option>: This
    parameter specifies the location of the <application>NSPR</application>
    header files, not needed if <application>nspr</application> was installed
    in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>.</para>

    <para><option>--with-nss-includes=/path/to/include/nss</option>: This
    parameter specifies the location of the <application>NSS</application>
    header files, not needed if <application>nss</application> was installed
    in <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>.</para>

    <para><option>--without-weather</option>: Use this option to disable the
    weather calendar backend and is required if
    <application>libgweather</application> is not installed.</para>

    <!--
    <para><parameter>-with-{nspr,nss}-includes</parameter>: This parameter is
    used to identify where the Mozilla Network Security Services interface
    headers are located. By default,
    <application>Evolution Data Server</application> uses
    <filename>mozilla-{nss,nspr}.pc</filename> files to locate the headers
    and chances are you will not have <application>Mozilla</application>
    installed.</para>

    <note>
      <para>To enable many of the optional dependencies, review the information
      from <command>./configure --help</command> for the necessary parameters
