No, as long as you use it properly. Evolution depends on the evolution-data-server, not only as a usual library dependency, but also because things are just split into the two projects and to fix a problem in Evolution can mean to touch the evolution-data-server code, sometimes only there, sometimes on both places. Thus when you develop for Evolution, you should build it into the same CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as you built the evolution-data-server with. That's all. It seems it's not understandable from the copy&paste-based tutorial of "how to build from sources" for you for some reason, from a link I gave you I guess like tenth times: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Building Read it carefully. Follow it closely. Things will work. I said it to you elsewhere already: if you do nasty things (using the DESTDIR and expect that you can build against such "copied" (they are not *installed*, because DESTDIR != CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) sources, then you are in it on your own. It doesn't mean the code base doesn't support other environments, it only means that there is no intention to make the Building page too complicated, to rise the barrier to the newcomers, from my point of view unnecessary. You do not seem to be a newbie, you seem to be able to make things work on your own, with your nasty workarounds. Which is good. For you.
