[Evolution] trying to hack evolution

[michael cardenas <mcarde02 fiu edu>]

Hello,

    I've been trying for a few nights to compile evolution and se if I
can contribute. So, I installed helixcode gnome and all the development
libraries that I thought were needed. Also, I picked up bonobo and
evolution from cvs. The trouble is, I can't get either one to compile.
When running the bonobo autogen.sh, there are a ton of errors and then
it bails out.

    is there any way I can capture the stuff to a file? I tried
./autogen.sh > out  but I assume things are being written to stderr so
they're not being put in the file...

    First, when running automake --gnu I get

    bonobo/Makefile.am:21: variable 'GNOME_LIBDIR' not defined
    bonobo/Makefile.am:21: variable 'GDK_PIXBUF_LIBS' not defined
    bonobo/Makefile.am:21: variable 'GNOMEUI_LIBS' not defined
    bonobo/Makefile.am:6: variable 'GNOMEGNORBA_LIBS' not defined
    bonobo/Makefile.am:21: variable 'INTLLIBS' not defined

and a million other not defined's...

Then, autoconf says

autoconf: Undefined macros:
configure.in:42:AC_CHECK_LIB(uuid, uuid_generate, lib_uuid=true,
[AC_MSG_WARN([


and lastly, when it finally runs configure, it says:
./configure: syntax error near unexpected token
'AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)'
./configure: ./configure: line 529: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)'

when I run the ./autogen.sh for evolution, just about the same thing
happens, but with less not defined's

can you please help me to get these resolved so I can try to help?

thanks in advance...
michael
