[Evolution] How to install evolution-on (was: Minimise to tray?)



I am surprised by the number of replies saying that this is an
Arch-specific plugin or that it only works there.

It happens to be packaged for Arch. But -as expected- it can be
installed from source on other distributions.

These are the commands that would be needed for a Debian-based
distribution:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git evolution-dev libebook1.2-dev libecal1.2-dev libgconf2-dev 
libglib2.0-dev gnome-common
git clone https://github.com/acidrain42/evolution-on
cd evolution-on
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install


The only bit to take into account is that you will need at least
evolution 3.22 in order to be able to enable the plugin
(this can be detected by the presence of "undefined symbol:
camel_message_info_get_flags" errors printed when starting evolution
from the console)
so -while it can be compiled and installed- it won't work with the
evolution shipped by Debian jessie (it does work for strecht)

It seems to work nicely, by the way.

Best regards
