User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/network-manager-applet
Install NetworkManager Applet by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
-Dselinux=false \
-Dteam=false &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
-Denable-team=false: This
switch disables the team configuration editor since it requires
Jansson which is not currently in
BLFS.
-Denable-selinux=false:
This switch forcibly disables SELinux support since it is not currently in
BLFS and the build will fail without it.
-Denable-wwan=false: This switch
disables WWAN support. Use this if you do not have ModemManager-1.6.12 installed.
