User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/network-manager-applet
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-1.18.10 installed.
