The PST-importer plugin will only build if the library (libpst) is
available. So, right now on 2.26.0 Jaunty... there is no libpst
available (because it has not yet been accepted), so Evolution
2.26.0 did *not* get the plugin.

The easiest way to build your own Evolution:

1. install the libpst from the PPA (or download the sources from
REVU, and build & install it locally).
2. 'sudo apt-get build-dep evolution' (this will install *all* build
dependencies for Evolution)
3. 'sudo apt-get -b source evolution' (this will download the source
Evolution package, and immediately build it. It will take some
time). 4. The result of the build will be a series of '.deb's on
the directory. Install them: 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb. You do not need
to install the .ddeb. 5. restart Evolution.

      Hi,
maybe I'm wrong, but I've a wild guess. Plugins are supposed to work
separately from main evolution code, thus I think that installing
devel packages for evolution, (and maybe also evolution-data-server
and gtkhtml), and source package for evolution only, and not
compile&install whole evolution, but only
evolution/plugins/pst-import should work.

Heh. Not a wild guess at all, Milan ;-)

Indeed, just rebuilding evolution/plugins/pst-import will do the trick.

But this would not rebuild the UBuntu package (either
evolution-plugins, or evolution-plugins-experimental, I do not remember
which), and I wanted to give the *easiest* way to get it done. Of
course, this is not the *fastest* way...

And I was not sure how much knowledge the reporter has on building from
source, anyway.

Cheers,

..hggdh..
