Just did a git pull of the latest master sources for evolution and
evolution-data-server, built the whole thing and installed it into
/opt/evo. Then moved the existing dbus service out of the way and
symlinked them to my install directory. Unfortunately, evolution
never comes up, with the output below. The existing 3.1.4 version
on this oneiric alpha comes up with the new services, though.
What do I need to do to build and install it correctly?

	Hi,

the bug report with your findings. Thanks in advance.

Not all operations can be easily/nicely encapsulated in the makefile, unfortunately. Here are a few notes you might find interesting.

1. If you've never run Evolution 2.29 or above, you will need to install a number of gconf schema files for each new user account. To do this, run:

   for schema in $PREFIX/etc/gconf/schemas/*.schemas; do \
      gconftool-2 --install-schema-file $schema; \
   done

where $PREFIX is your install dir (/opt/evo in your case)
