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 \
-Dappindicator=no \
-Dselinux=false \
-Dteam=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.
-Dteam=false: This switch
disables the team configuration editor since it requires jansson-2.13.1. If you have Jansson installed,
remove this option or set it to "true".
-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-1.14.0 installed.
