Re: [Evolution-hackers] Latest Evolution version on Windows 10

2018-11-12 Thread Adam Seering
For what it's worth, I currently use Evolution on Windows 10 using WSL 
(Microsoft's Linux binary compatibility layer) and VcXsrv.


It's a pain to set up, though; definitely not a supported use of WSL; has 
performance issues, doesn't integrate super nicely.  Definitely for 
power-users only.  But it works :-)

Hi,
if there is anything precompiled for Windows out there I do not know,
I'm sorry.

Evolution itself cannot be compiled for Windows at the moment, because
it depends on WebKitGTK+ and its usage of WebKit2, which does not
compile on Windows right now [1]. Having it done the rest will "just
work". That is, either you install some sort of Linux emulator to get
to the latest version of Evolution [2][3], or you would use a virtual
machine with installed Linux and eventually also precompiled Evolution.

Bye,
Milan

[Evolution-hackers] Latest Evolution version on Windows 10

2018-11-12 Thread Leonardo Costa Fiorini via evolution-hackers
Hello everybody,
I've recently made a comparison accross dozens of free e-mail and news handlers 
and came to Evolution as one of the best available options. But I use Windows 
10 in a corporate environment and therefore this is not possible, unless 
somebody here knows something about any recent packages designed to work on 
Windows 10. I know some old packages are available and it seems 2010 to be the 
latest year that something like this was released to the public, despite 
reported compatibility problems I've already Googled for. So, if anyone knows 
about if the latest Evolution release has or not some installation procedure to 
become comptible with Windows 10 I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so 
much.
Leonardo.___
