[Request] Evolution-notify-osd

Hi all, just like the title implies...

I have installed the notify-osd packages from AUR, but Evolution is not working with them.

Now whenever I get a new mail, I get a popup window where I have to press "OK" to make it disappear...

I've looked around but I can't find a way to patch it for Notify-osd...

Can anyone get that working? Or at least point me in the right direction so I can make a PKGBUILD for it?

Thanks in advance!

Is it work if you build it manually ? Well, what do you think it's an application realted problem, or pkgbuild related ?

Re: [Request] Evolution-notify-osd

Hi, and thanks for your quick answer!

I didn't try to build it myself yet, because that is just the thing:
Apps like pidgin require being built and patched to use notify-osd. And not only those packages are in the AUR, as I can easily find those patches independently.
Apps like rhytmbox didn't require any patching and they "just worked" with notify-osd.
However, for evolution, I can neither find a path anywhere, nor is it working properly.

I'll try to build it using the ABS. About time I learned how it work anyway. I'll post the results. Probably not today, since I guess I'm in for some doc browsing&reading. =-) Just what I love about Arch - nearly flawless documentation.

OK, so ABS is so simple I just used it to build evolution... Now I just need to wait for someone to e-mail me to test it out.
If I mail myself evolution won't show a notification for some reason...

I've received new mail. But no new notifications... It's just like before. Any more tips?

Re: [Request] Evolution-notify-osd

OK, so I've found something else that might shed some light on the subject:
I believe Evolution requires "Evolution Indicator" in order to function with notify-osd.
I have a link here:

https://launchpad.net/evolution-indicator

However I can't seem to build it from source. It has plenty of dependencies I can't seem to satisfy on Arch.
Can anyone give me a hand, please?

Thanks.
