First, adapt GNOME Nettool to changes in the ping, ping6, and netstat utilities:
patch -Np1 -i ../gnome-nettool-42.0-ping_and_netstat_fixes-1.patch
Then add a fix for newer versions of meson:
sed -i '/merge_file/s/(.*/(/' data/meson.build
Install GNOME Nettool by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release && ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
