Hello,
i am tryin to install a Network manager sstp client on CentOS 8 Stream. Doing a configure i get a message about missing libraries.
"......

checking for xgettext... (cached) /usr/bin/xgettext

configure: error: Package requirements (libnm-gtk >= 1.2.0) were not met:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix."


I have installed everything what was needed to this moment. I cant find this package for CentOS 8 on net.
Did someone installed the SSTP Manager on Centos or maybe there is another way to connect to sstp VPN?
 


I have not tried this but was all I could find

 
Thank you jpnilson, i have found it earlier too, however it does not work even with terminal. Does anyone connect from CentOS 8 to sstp VPN?
 
Looking at that it needs a version greater than 1.2.0 of libnm-gtk, you could try finding the source and then compiling it.
However it looks like you're not the only one with the problem.
Or else you could try using this package instead, since it looks like it's for networkmanager as well.
Code:
Name         : plasma-nm-sstp
Version      : 5.18.5
Release      : 1.el8
Architecture : x86_64
Size         : 78 k
Source       : plasma-nm-5.18.5-1.el8.src.rpm
Repository   : epel
Summary      : SSTP support for plasma-nm
URL          : https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-nm.git
License      : LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+
Description  : SSTP support for plasma-nm.
 
I've add the plasma plugin, however i get the message "missing VPN plugin" in the command line also ncmli gives me a response."The VPN service 'sspt' was not installed".
I have installed the sstp-client for fedora28. I compiled also the original source and install but it does not work either.
