[Evolution-hackers] Build FAQ?

[Frank Solensky <frank solensky org>]

Pardon the newbie question but is there any more detailed information
about building Evolution?

On http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/build.shtml:

| Build the relevant modules listed on the CVS page and them.

1) Should the modules be built in any specific order?
2) "..and them".  Install, right?

| If you use a prefix different from where the rest of GNOME is
| installed (recommended),

3) I'm not sure what the recommendation is: the prefix for the result of
the evolution build?

In evolution/README.txt:
| In order to build Evolution you need to have the full set of GNOME 2
| or GNOME 2.2 development libraries installed.

4) Out of date?  I've got GNOME 2.4, off the Red Hat Fedora
distribution.

| .. Evolution REQUIRES libdb 3.1.17, and NO OTHER VERSION.

5) Still true?

I'll admit it.  Getting the link to http://www.gnome.org/bounties/ was
enough incentive for me to try to add one or two things myself, even if
I don't eventually claim one.

6)  The blog page announces some of the enhancements already being
completed (sorry about Ettore): where does one go to see what's already
underway?   Or is the blog what's current?

TIA.
