I presume you mean 3.10.4. AFAIK Gnome Online Accounts existed in Gnome
3.10 - just set up your Google account in GoA and your contacts should
appear in Evolution

I presume you mean about compiling (because there's lots of messages
about enabling Google contacts using GoA). I'm afraid there isn't much
of a magic wand to compile the most recent version of Evo on an old
system - if the README worries you then I wouldn't try.

Evolution is a very different thing to Thunderbird - TB is essentially
a standalone application and is not specific to any desktop; Evolution
is a Gnome application and as such needs many Gnome libraries (usually
the same version as Evo) for it to work. To see what I mean, try
running ldd on the executables - ldd tells you what libraries are
needed by the executables:
$ ldd /usr/bin/evolution | wc
141 560 7843
$ ldd /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird | wc
8 28 347
So Thunderbird needs 8 libraries, Evolution needs 141
