hi,
building the tool with

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/NetworkManager --disable-static --with-pppd-plugin-dir=/usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5

but network manager when started does not detect the plugin. i don't know how to detect the cause. sstp-client itself is working fine! (i published arch package in aur https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sstp-client/)

 $ yaourt -Qi networkmanager | grep Version
 Version        : 0.9.6.4-1
 $ yaourt -Qi sstp-client | grep Version
 Version        : 1.0.9-1

i had to make couple of edits in sources to build nm plugin with gtk3 because of some symbols were deprecated. when built with gtk2 it didn't work either
please advise
