 Hello all,
          I want to compile evolution from svn on Fedora 8 to try the
mapi interface. However, autoconf.sh fails, not producing a Makefile.in
I have spent a long time  trying to guess the error and am now asking
for help...
  Does the following ring any bells for anyone?
  Thanks Bill

 
1) Please use these branches [and not SVN trunk] to check-out your source:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution-data-server/branches/EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH/
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution/branches/EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH/

2) libmapi-0.6 (openchange [1] revision 306) and samba4 (revision 26100) need to be installed/built before attempting to build e-d-s or evolution for MAPI.

3) Please ensure you have all the required build-tools installed [2] on your system. Also check PKG_CONFIG_PATH to make sure that the installed packages are available to the build process.

These are the autogen args I use for e-d-s and evolution:
'--enable-maintainer-mode --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc --with-openldap=yes --with-openldap-libs=/usr/lib --with-krb5=/usr --with-krb5-includes=/usr/include --with-krb5-libs=/usr/lib --enable-mono=no --enable-nss=yes --enable-nspr=yes --enable-gnome-keyring=yes --enable-ssl --enable-smime --enable-debug --enable-exchange-mapi=yes --enable-nntp --enable-plugins=all --enable-exchange=yes --with-e2k-debug --enable-pilot-conduits=no'

Note that to use the same arguments, you may have to install quite a few devel-packages.

[2] Using jhbuild to do this greatly helps !! .. http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/jhbuild/

You probably have checked-out SVN trunk for your source.
[The Google calendar backend is not present in the MAPI branch as the branch has not been merged with SVN trunk since the time it was created]
