The Network Manager GNOME applet is designed to be an easy-to-use tool for managing your network connections. With this applet, you can quickly connect to wireless networks, view your network status, and manage your VPN connections. It is an essential utility for anyone who wants to stay connected while on the go.
To begin, navigate to the directory where the package's source code is located and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system. In case you're utilizing `csh' on an old version of System V, it is recommended that you type `sh ./configure' instead. This step prevents `csh' from attempting to execute `configure' itself.
During the configuration process, various features will be checked for compatibility with your system, and you'll see messages updating you on the progress of the setup. Once the configuration is complete, type `make' to compile the package. If the package has any self-tests included, you can opt to run them with the `make check' command.
Following successful compilation, type `make install' to install the programs, data files, and documentation available with the package. To clear any binaries and object files from the source code directory, it is advised that you use the command 'make clean'. Additionally, if you ever need to compile the package for a different kind of computer, type `make distclean' to delete any files that 'configure' created. Finally, if you're a developer and you need to maintain files in the package, the 'make maintainer-clean' command can be particularly useful.
Overall, the Network Manager Applet is an excellent application to use in conjunction with Network Manager, and its installation process is quite straightforward.
