Re: [Evolution] Relocating Evolution, Connector
On Mon, 2002-12-16 at 18:48, Jeff Boerio wrote:
Has anyone successfully built v1.2 of Evolution for a location other
than /usr/bin? Have you been able to plug in Connector to it?
I've been pretty unsuccessful in doing so. I have a wrapper for
launching evolution and it looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
EVO=/usr/local/evolution/1.2.0
GNOME=/usr/local/gnome/1.4.0
PATH=${GNOME}/bin:${EVO}/bin:${PATH}
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${GNOME}/lib:${EVO}/lib
OAF_INFO_PATH=${GNOME}/share/oaf:${EVO}/share/oaf
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH OAF_INFO_PATH
${EVO}/bin/evolution.bin ${@+$@}
## End
In order to plug in the Connector RPM, I used rpm2cpio piped to cpio
and installed it in $EVO.
Whenever I would launch evolution, I would get the following dialog box:
Cannot activate component
OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_ExchangeStorage_ShellComponent: The error from
the activation system is: Child process did not give an error message,
unknown failure occurred. [OK]
I broke down and tried to install Connector into /usr, modified my
wrapper script so that /usr/lib and /usr/share/oaf were included in the
respective variables, but I still get the error message.
So, has anyone done this?
yes, I've got evolution, and other GNOME apps compiled from sources, and
installed in /opt/gnome. That's what I've defined:
export PATH=/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/ximian/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib:/opt/ximian/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export OAF_INFO_PATH=/opt/gnome/share/oaf:$OAF_INFO_PATH
the problem you've got, I think, is that oaf is already running when you
start your wrapper script, so it does not take into account the new
OAF_INFO_PATH.
So, put these environment vars in some initialization script, such as
~/.xinitrc, ~/.xsession, ~/.bashrc, etc to make sure oaf is started with
the new setting.

Whoops, sorry. I have made a mistake; I placed the CATEGORIES:Holiday
*after* the END:VEVENT token. This now works fine :)
awk '{if ($0 == END:VEVENT) {print CATEGORIES:Holiday;} print $0;} \
UK32Holidays.ics UKHolidays.ics
Can Evolution (v1.0.8) assign a category to any non categorised events
(without having to manually edit the imported iCal file)?
no, you can't
I see from
Apple's original iCal file that it contains extra headers:
X-WR-CALNAME;VALUE=TEXT:UK Holidays
X-WR-RELCALID;VALUE=TEXT:831F8480-C416-11D6-BA97-003065F198AC
Can these be used automatically assign categories when importing a iCal
file?
well, those properties, AFAIK, do not belong to the iCalendar RFC, so
unless we do a special case for broken Apple's iCal files, we won't
support it.
So, the correct fix for this would be to fix Apple's iCal so that it
generates correct VEVENT's. That is, the categories have to be specified
per VEVENT, not at the top of the calendar file with a non-standard
property.

It takes me 35 minutes to get home, so she always sets the alarm to 45-60 minutes before the meeting to remind me in time to get home for the appointment. Otherwise, I have to remember to always edit all appointments from her to change the alarm to a longer setting than the default (and if I get an meeting update notice, it resets the alarm again) - or have an angry wife. Another not so elegant option would be to have an option to open the appointment editor when accepting a meeting. Of course, if it's just me, don't bother with changes. makes a lot of sense to do it this way, and also is much easier to do, so I'm just fixing it as we speak. cheers -- Rodrigo Moya [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

However, if I open it to view/modify it (like add some comments), the time shown is in UTC. Is this a feature or bug? this is a feature.

How Evolution detect the backend, is there any parts in Evolution responsible to do this, or that there is some kind of configuration that can make evolution to load our backend server??? yes, apart from implementing a CalBackend-based class (as cal-backend-file.c does), you need to create a CalFactory and install a .oaf file, like wombat does (evo/wombat). Also, I find that in Evoltion, there is a wombat-client for Corba interface implementation. Is it related to the backend server we want to build. it was supposed to be used from the wombat to send requests (passwords) to clients, but it is not being used. Besides, I try to compile and run Evolution in order to find out more details. There is a program in /usr/bin/wombat which is a standalone executable. Is any body find out how does it talk with evolution? By IPC, PIPE or shared memory or some other means? Is it necessary to modify anything in wombat to support our calendar server? it uses CORBA to communicate with evolution, or rather, evolution uses CORBA to activate and communicate with the wombat. There is no need to modify wombat. You could just add a new backend to wombat or just create a new wombat-like process that registers the CalFactory and your calendar backend on it.

Could I just change the /usr/lib/galConf.sh link for when I'm compiling evolution? In other words, is the /usr/lib/galConf.sh script consulted at runtime at all? I don't want to break my existing installation of GNOME 1.4 and Evolution 1.0.5 (i'm using all of GNOME from the Debian packages, except for evolution itself where I added my Evolution patches in). gnome-config is only called at autogen.sh/configure time, AFAIK. So, yes, it's safe to only have the link while compiling. anyway, just don't install libgal-dev, if you're on debian. I've had several libgal* installed, with no problems. Now: ii libgal19 0.19.2-2 G App Libs (run time library) ii libgal2-0 0.0.3-2G App Libs for GNOME2 (run time library) ii libgal2-0-data 0.0.3-2G App Libs for GNOME2 (data files) ii libgal2-0-dev 0.0.3-2G App Libs for GNOME2 (development files) and this is a freshly-installed system, with almost GNOME2-only apps/libs. In my previous system, I had more libgal*, and everything worked fine, since the packages that use other versions of libgal, do link correctly with the libgal.so.x.x.x file. and all this with gal CVS installed in /opt/gnome cheers -- Rodrigo Moya [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

If I understand it correctly, I need gal, gtkhtml and evo cvs, the other libraries should be ok from Debian unstable. Could build gal, but how do I tell gtkhtml where my new gal is? --with-gal is apparently non-existent. evolution looks for those libraries via gnome-config. So, gal and gtkhtml install a galConf.sh/gtkhtmlConf.sh files in $(libdir). So, either install gal and gtkhtml in the same prefix as the rest of gnome (that is, where gnome-config is, usually /usr/bin, means you'll install them into /usr), or do what I do which is: install gal/gtkhtml into /opt/gnome link /usr/lib/galConf.sh - /opt/gnome/lib/galConf.sh (the same for gtkhtmlConf.sh) install evolution into /opt/gnome of course, if you install into /opt/gnome, you'll have to define $PATH, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $OAF_INFO_PATH (= $OAF_INFO_PATH:/opt/gnome/share/oaf) cheers ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

I am (of course) again thinking about our First Class system which sports a basic calendaring system. What protocol would be used in exchanging information between Evo and the calendaring system? whichever protocol the calendar server uses. You just have to implement a CalBackend-based class, as is done in cal-backend-file.c. How you communicate from the backend with the calendar server is up to you. cheers ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Anyone who can tell me how to deal with this is my hero. So I've been forced off of CVS head for the moment, and back into the default release of evolution that came with redhat.
