Building a package for Debian, it's possible to automatically get the dependencies, but I suspect you aren't building a package, but want to compile and install it without building a package? Assumed you should build Debian packages, then keep in mind to build them in the needed order. I guess data-server has to be build first.
You should do this work yourself or simply chose a distro that doesn't split software from upstream in tons of packages. Search for the Debain "-dev" packages. They might have names such as "libfoo-dev" instead of "foo". For example > gtk+-3.0 >= 3.10.0 libgtk-3-dev (3.14.5-1) https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libgtk-3-dev > gsettings-desktop-schemas >= 2.91.92 gsettings-desktop-schemas-dev (3.14.1-1) https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gsettings-desktop-schemas-dev If you don't get a version of a dev package that is needed, take a look at backports or use pinning to mix with e.g. sid. To funny that the version of Evolution even in sid is outdated. Perhaps the needed dev packages are also outdated and you will run into a dependency hell by pinning and perhaps building dependencies before you can compile Evolution. I would use Debian the way it is or switch to another distro were building a package from latest upstream versions isn't hard to do. Some distros even provide 3.16 by their official repositories, e.g. Arch Linux: $ pacman -Q evolution evolution 3.16.1-1 However, do you really need evolution 3.16 on your Debian? What are you missing by the version or versions provided by the Debian repositories. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
