Hello all. I have recently been testing Evolution on Win32 for a potential deployment. I don't often use Windows, so please bear with me if I've missed something obvious :)
The current binary Evo/Win32 distribution (release 2.8) seems to be exhibiting an issue with CalDAV calendars. It allowed me to add a CalDAV calendar to the list of calendars, but would not display any events from that calendar, and refused to allow new events to be written to it. On the backend, I'm using Darwin Calendar Server on Linux, which talks quite happily to Evoultion 2.6 on the Linux desktop I use for everyday work. The problem on the Win32 port appears to be that Evolution is not even attempting to connect to the DCS server. I base that on the following: * DCS logs show no connection attempts from the Windows box * Output of netstat on the Windows box while runnning Evoultion shows no connection attempts to the DCS server * Windows firewall is disabled * tcpdump on an intermediate box shows no connection attempts from the Windows box to the DCS server * iptables on the gateway between the two subnets (configured to log all packets from the client to the server for debugging) shows a packet count of zero * As a sanity check, telnet to the CalDAV port on the DCS server from the Windows box succeeds, so it's not an intermediate firewall issue. Thinking that it was just a 2.8 issue, I tried compiling the current release (2.22) on Win32 (with mingw & msys) but e-d-s refused to link against libxml. Compiled & installed the most recent libxml from source on the Windows box (in case the binary libxml release was somehow at fault), but still e-d-s refused to link against libxml. This happens no matter what combination of cpp DEFINEs I set for libxml. So, my questions are: 1. Has anyone successfully used CalDAV calendars with Evolution 2.8 on Win32? If so, how did you do it and/or what am I doing wrong or have missed? 2. Any thoughts on how to make the 2.22 release e-d-s link against libxml on Win32? Cheers, Jack. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
