After lurking on the list for a few days and reading several archives... I sent my basic question to a list member, gunther; who was not amused that I e-mailed him directly...
So I will send my lame question to the list, as he suggested... Sorry for polluting the list with such a basic question. I was trying to avoid this :) # Basically I am interested in building evolution from sources. I downloaded the CVS sources for evolution however I could not find any instructions on what to do what that. Looks like some autoconf type things need to be done before the package is ready for a "./configure" Is there a package in the form of evo.tar.gz which is distributed and ready to build? I keenly understand that Red Carpet is NOT what I want. Thanks for some elementary pointers ... -J On Fri, 2003-08-22 at 07:20, guenther wrote: > Please, ask your questions on the mailing list. > > > > I am late to this mailing list... :) > > Can you tell me the best way to compile the source? > > > > I found the Red Carpet thing and deduced I cannot get source that way. > > Then I found the CVS page and downloaded from cvs (cvs co evolution).
