In addition to the other replies, if you want to build for a single-user embedded system, there are some configure-time options you might want: --with-session-tracking=none (don't require consolekit or systemd) --with-suspend-resume=upower (don't require systemd) --with-selinux=no (don't require libselinux) --enable-teamdctl=no (don't use libteam) --enable-polkit=no (don't use PolicyKit) --with-libsoup=no (don't do connectivity checking) Dan _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
