HOWTO

# Libical
# =======
# Up to and including version 1.0, libical was hosted at sourceforge:
# http://freeassociation.sourceforge.net/
# https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeassociation/files/libical/

# If you are using Cyrus IMAP 2.5.x, you want libical 2.0.x
# If you are using Cyrus IMAP >= 3.2.x, you want libical 3.0.x
# Below, version 2.x is located below version 3.x
# They are set up to not clobber each other, but there will always be a
# libical.so symlink pointing to the one most recently installed

# Slackware packages:
# 14.0:  libical 0.48
# 14.1:  libical 1.0
# 14.2:  libical 2.0.0
# 15.0:  libical 3.0.13

# libical GitHub Releases page
# libical GitHub Wiki
# libical GitHub Issues
# libical-devel mailing list archives
# libical-interest mailing list archives

# Libical 2.0.0
# ==============
# Version 2.0.0 of Libical is supported by Cyrus IMAP as of version 2.5.9

# Prerequisites:
# CMake >= 3.1.0
# Perl
# libicu (optional but recommended; Slackware has a 'icu4c' package)
# pkg-config
# Berkeley DB (optional)
# Glib >= 2.3.2 (optional; for libical-glib)
# libxml >= 2.7.3 (optional; for libical-glib)
# doxygen (optional; for API docs)

# If you have an older version installed under a different prefix,
# such as the default of /usr/local, and want to match the Slackware
# prefix of /usr, remove the old one before you proceed below.
# 'make uninstall' as root from the source directory should take
# care of that for you.

# Get it
