Re: [Evolution] Evolution + Exchange (was: Evolution for Windows...)
Ahh... still learning a lot on the dependencies in Linux... sounds like I need to find out when the next Ubuntu release will be and how long it will take to get to Eeebuntu... Thanks for the information!

Nothing like that. evolution-mapi depends on Evolution 2.25.3 which will only be available with GNOME 2.26 (i.e. the version of GNOME in the next Ubuntu release).

Re: [Evolution] Evolution + Exchange (was: Evolution for Windows...)
I assume that WIP means Work In Progress? Is there anything I can do to help/test? I'm honestly not a developer, but would like to help if possible... Also, did you mean that some packages are more difficult to find on xUbuntu? I'm quite new to Linux so not familiar with the differences or what is needed to put some software on one system or another. Used Solaris 8 years ago, but nothing since.

[Evolution] Evolution + Exchange (was: Evolution for Windows...)
Tor, Thank you very much for the direct replies; I am very new to looking into Linux, but I believe I have heard of your name in quite high regard before... I like the idea of Evolution for Windows, but yeah I think for an end-user it seems not mature enough for everyday use... at least this is my personal impression. Just yesterday I was able to get Eeebuntu setup on my PC and my current struggle is getting Exchange going... I found a command to get the evolution-exchange package installed, but it kicks an error... seems to detect my Exchange 2007 server as being Exchange 5.5 and states the Exchange Connector only supports 2000 and 2003. Any suggestions? Thanks specifically for your help... in general I can add that I'm pretty amazed at the level of person-to-person support in the Linux community. Before I thought open-source would equal no support, but I find I get more support than I ever do with MS products!

It's not really a command prompt window, as there is not command interpreter (cmd.exe) there, it's just Evolution's windows. The correct term is console window. But at least you didn't call it a DOS box... This is because the evolution executables are marked as console applications and not gui applications. (This is just a field in the executable header, it has no effect on whether the program can have a gui or not.) That the console window appears is a completely trivial minor point from a developer point of view, and extremely easy to get rid of when building Evolution, just a -mwindows switch is needed, or even afterwards if one has the suitable tool editbin.exe. To end-users the console window seems odd, of course. The main reason why Evolution still is by default built on Windows as a console application (i.e. which opens a console window is because it makes it easier to see error messages and warnings. But yeah, the default really should be changed. --tml ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
