Yes, I checked in my system now, I have the Gnome3 PPA.asctivated in my system

Warning, there will be many errors. You need patience and internet
digging to fix them.

Here's the script I sometimes use to automate the git master
compilation once everything compiles fine. As it does not do any error
checking,it can render your evolution unusable as it may write
unworkable files over working version, despite errors happening on an
earlier compile command. So use it just as a guidance and do things
manually if you're really want to try. (PS I use it for bug testing if
a developer patches a bug)

Ths  script resides in ~/evo and run inside that directory:

#rm *.zip
### below commands download git master, but I recommend only stable releases.
#wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/snapshot/evolution-master.zip
#wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/snapshot/evolution-data-server-master.zip
#wget https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-ews/snapshot/evolution-ews-master.zip
#unzip -o ./evolution-data-server-master.zip
#unzip -o ./evolution-master.zip
#unzip -o ./evolution-ews-master.zip
#cd evolution-data-server-master
### below autogen also configures evolution-data-server without gnome
and ubuntu online accounts (since I only use exchange), without ipv6,
without weather, with openldap support, without examples
#./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local --disable-goa --disable-uoa
--enable-ipv6=no --disable-weather --with-openldap --disable-examples
#make
#sudo make install
#cd ../evolution-master
### the below command configures evolution without autoar as I could
not get it to work, and without spamassassin, but I have bogofilter in
my packages so it compiles with bogofilter
#./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local --enable-gnome-desktop
--disable-autoar --disable-gtk-doc-html --enable-smime --enable-nss
--disable-weather --without-help --with-openldap --enable-pst-import
--with-spamassassin=no
#make
#sudo make install
#cd ../evolution-ews-master
#./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
#make
#sudo make install

All above lines are commented out with #, thus the script does not do
anything unless you remove the #.
