Evolution has lots of dependencies on other packages - and very
importantly evolution-data-server needs to be the same version as
evolution itself so it needs to be built as well.

If your base Gnome version is 3.10 (which it looks like it is), then I
suspect that will be too old since Evolution also has dependencies on
Gnome packages - so recent versions of those will be needed as well.

Building Evolution is a complex process - if you are a novice at
building packages, then I really wouldn't recommend it a a place to
start! Especially on a system that has an old version of Gnome
installed.  If you need a newer version, then your best bet is to find
some repository somewhere that has done all the hard work - or hassle
the maintainers of your distro to include it.
