Hi Milan,

Javier has tagged evolution and evolution-data-server to pre-cmake
versions in gnome-continuous.

To get them building again from HEAD again, what you can do is add a
compatibility configure script as described in:

 https://people.gnome.org/~walters/build-api/build-api.md

There are examples of this for CMAKE in:

 https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-continuous/tree/patches/

(Search for cmake... the different patches are somewhat different
depending on what particular variables the project uses.)

It's easy to test locally - just do:

 mkdir _build
 cd _build
 ../configure --prefix=/tmp/blah && make && make install

And see if that works.
