Since this package uses Polkit-125 for authorization, one Polkit Authentication Agent should be running when the functionality of this package is used.
Install NetworkManager Applet by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup .. \ --prefix=/usr \ --buildtype=release \ -D appindicator=no \ -D selinux=false && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
-D appindicator=no
: This
switch disables AppIndicator support in network-manager-applet
because it requires libindicator, which is not in BLFS. The build
will fail without this option.
-D selinux=false
: This
switch forcibly disables SELinux
support since it is not currently in BLFS and the build will fail
without it.
-D wwan=false
: This switch disables
WWAN support. Use this if you do not have ModemManager-1.18.12 installed.
