User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/network-manager-applet
First, fix building with newer versions of meson:
sed -i '/merge_file/{n;d}' meson.build
Install NetworkManager Applet by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr \
--buildtype=release \
-Dappindicator=no \
-Dselinux=false &&
ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
-Dappindicator=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.
-Dselinux=false: This
switch forcibly disables SELinux
support since it is not currently in BLFS and the build will fail
without it.
-Dwwan=false: This switch disables WWAN
support. Use this if you do not have ModemManager-1.18.6 installed.
