I can register another clarification request also in an issue tracker.

There can be a risk that the communication will evolve in ways

The known information system can be helpful to some degree.

I hope that technical aspects can be clarified also here.

The provided build data show helpful information for the failure
to include a special header file.

A pattern can be identified here.

The development version of the software “GNOME Evolution Data Server”
was installed into the directory “~/Projekte/Test/Evolution/Service/current”
(with the help of the environment variable “DESTDIR”).
This detail was not preserved by the tool “pkgconf” for reuse then.
Will the build system need any further software extensions?
