Evolution is a software that offers combined email, address book, and calendar features for GNOME desktop users.
Running `configure' while the installation process is taking place may take some time, but it will print messages informing which features are being checked for. After running `configure', users need to type `make' to compile and `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package. They can also type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and documentation that come with it. Those wishing to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory need to type `make clean'. If a user wants to remove the files that `configure' created to compile the package for a different computer, then they need to type `make distclean'. There's also a `make maintainer-clean' target that's intended only for the package's developers.
Overall, Evolution is a reliable program that users can trust to meet their needs. The installation process is simple, and the numerous features it offers make it a versatile choice for anyone looking for an integrated mail, address book, and calendaring program. Those with programming knowledge may appreciate the detailed instructions on how to make modifications and changes to the package. However, it's important to note that users may need to download other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution should they choose to use the `make maintainer-clean' target.
