Seems like few people are using this package. Following jamespharvey20's suggestion, I was able to compile the PKGBUILD from extra using commit cab2e4fc96bbe21d048ade49fd1db0a7b5c5d0f4

This fails to build in a chroot environment:

Dependency qtcore found: NO (tried pkgconfig)

examples/C/qt/meson.build:12:0: ERROR: Dependency "QtCore" not found, tried pkgconfig

This PKGBUILD differs so much from the one in extra, I'd recommend grabbing that PKGBUILD and making as few changes as necessary to get it to build the -git version. It builds without qt. IMO, if you want one with qt, I'd call it networkmanager-qt-git.

Someone in IRC was saying they can build this but can't install it via pacman due to conflicting files with package python-pygments, on /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pygments/__init__.py, which this package shouldn't have in it. Good chance going off the extra PKGBUILD will fix this issue too.

Missing dependencies: gtk-doc, intltool.

Also, this is just broken. Like lines 154-157 (or should I say 154-166) of PKGBUILD - that's not how heredocs work.

Install qt4 and dnsmasq

cp ~/.cache/pacaur/networkmanager-git/src/networkmanager-git/build/man/common.ent ~/.cache/pacaur/networkmanager-git/src/networkmanager-git/build/docs/api/

Fixes the current package.

The package is currently not building because of:

• missing qt4 and dnsmasq build deps
• gtkdoc-mkhtml error during build - can't find build/docs/api/common.ent, it's actually in build/docs/man/common.ent.

I don't know if last one is an upstream bug though.

Please configure "--with-iwd=yes" to allow iwd as a wifi.backend.

2to3 is useless since 4 months fiy.
And shouldn't this replace (and be in conflict with) "standard" libnm?

You screwed something up in its repackaging then. Files are going to root instead of /usr.
Remove line 190.

Aside of this, the thing finally builds fine.

I have the same error like the one on Tuerai's comment.

Hey. I am getting the following failure to build this package today:
Traceback (most recent call last):

-----
From some googling, it looks like it may be trying to use python 3 instead of python 2 or something?

it works well on my vmware guest,
$ pacman -Q | grep network
network-manager-applet-git 1.4.3.dev.r124.gad9fb7b5-1

$ pacman -Q | grep libnm
