If you are building Evo 3.10 on a system that has Gnome 3.4 installed,
then you are going to have to do a lot more work than just
'./configure ; make ; make install'.

If you are a novice at building applications, which you seem to be, then
it might be that Evolution is not the place to start!  Your best bet is
to find pre-built packages for your operating system - but since you
don't say what that is, it's difficult to help.

If you really want to build Evo yourself, then do a search on the web,
there seems to be quite a few blogs about it.  Ultimately I think you
are going to have to use the jhbuild system to satisfy all the
dependencies.
