GTK+-3.24.38, libnma-1.10.6, and libsecret-0.21.2

Installation of NetworkManager Applet

Install NetworkManager Applet by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup ..            \
      --prefix=/usr       \
      --buildtype=release \
      -Dappindicator=no   \
      -Dselinux=false     &&
ninja

To test the results, issue: ninja test.

Now, as the root user:

ninja install

Command Explanations

-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-1.18.12 installed.
