How to install last version of Evolution in Debian Gnome ?

  • 772

By default, debian gnome come with Evolution 3.12. I would like to upgrade to the last version available 3.18.

I download the source package and proceed with a

# download source
wget https://download.gnome.org/sources/evolution/3.18/evolution-3.18.0.tar.xz

# decompress
tar xf *.tar.xz

# start setup
./configure

and it give a error message which indicate me there is a package version error.

...
configure: error: Package requirements (camel-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libebook-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libecal-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libedataserver-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libedataserverui-1.2 >= 3.18.0
 libebackend-1.2 >= 3.18.0) were not met:

  1. The easiest way to run the latest Evolution on an older distribution of Linux is to use Flatpak:
