[Evolution-hackers] Checking installation of header files for data service components

[Markus Elfring <Markus Elfring web de>]

Hello,

I have installed a development version of the software “GNOME Evolution Data Server”
into another test directory.
It seems that this directory selection deviates from assumptions or expectations
for commands which are mentioned in the document “Building Evolution from sources”.
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Building

The build configuration succeeded then for a development version of the
software “GNOME Evolution” (at first glance).
Unfortunately, I stumble on the following error situation.

Now I imagine that the header file inclusion parameters can be extended somehow.
Would you like to clarify corresponding adjustment possibilities?

How should a path like the following be automatically chosen to resolve
such a software dependency?
