Build without evolution data server

[jonas-w]

Hey,

First, thank you very much for building a kde connect in GTK, i can't really stand qt and always missed kde connect, because nothing is as good.

Aas i don't want/need the contacts plugin, i would like to build valent without the evolution dataserver installed.

Would this be possible?

I don't have much clue about C or Meson and tried to disable them in meson_options.txt, but building still fails without the evolution data server dependency installed.

Sorry, Valent has a hard dependency on libevolution-data-server. It doesn't need the service to be running, but it does need the library.

FWIW I may revisit this "sometime soon". The only public symbol I'm using is EContact, so I may be able to push all the Evolution dependencies into the eds plugin, in which case that plugin can be disabled making the dependency optional.
