[Evolution-hackers] libeshell.so not installed for evolution's "make install"

[Jawaad Ahmad <jawaad ahmad gmail com>]

Hello, all,

I'm guessing this is the correct mailing list for this question; if not,
please point me to the correct list.


I just tried compiling and installing Evolution from its trunk using the
instructions provided here:

   http://www.go-evolution.org/Compiling_Evolution_from_SVN

This involved checking out libsoup, gtkhtml, evolution-data-server, and
evolution from the Subversion repositories, then building each component
with the following general steps:

   autogen.sh
   make
   sudo make install

Everything worked fine until I tried to run "sudo make install" for
evolution itself. It looks like libeshell.so was not installed
to /opt/evo/lib/evolution2.12, causing a link error when
libevolution-test.so is built.

I was able to work around this by installing the missing .so file
manually, then continuing:

        cd shell
        sudo install .libs/libeshell.so /opt/evo/lib/evolution/2.12
        cd ..
        sudo make install

This let me get past the problem, but I wonder if there's a problem with
the Makefile (generated from Makefile.am, if I understand correctly). Is
there some way to confirm that this is the problem? If so, how am I
supposed to report it to the correct group?

Thanks.
