RE: Compile and Install Network Manager
Hi, Thanks David, That is exactly what I wanted. I will try it Thanks, Malintha Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2013 23:30:14 -0400 Subject: Re: Compile and Install Network Manager From: dpfee...@gmail.com To: malintha.adik...@hotmail.com CC: networkmanager-list@gnome.org Hi Malintha, I have not build NM, but I do build NM-applet. I build it locally by using the "prefix" in the ./configure to point to my local area. Then when I want to use it I kill the native nm-applet and run mine instead. The following is my configure line: $ ./configure --prefix=/home/david/Downloads/network-manager-applet-0.9.1.90 --with-gtkver=3 --build=i686-linux-gnu --enable-indicator When you download it, try "./configure --help" to see your options. david On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 9:41 AM, Malintha Adikari wrote: Hi, I want to change the NM code, compile it and re-install it on my local system.

If you're talking about overwriting /usr with e.g. "sudo make install", I recommend downloading a known-good RPM of NetworkManager; then if you run into trouble you can just reinstall it. ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
