The desktop file and icon are now included in the release tarball, FYI.

gksu is no longer needed and all create_ap's dependencies should be included.

See my PKGBUILD.

Desktop file is not broken.

This will ask you for your root password (not sure if this is what you wanted?) instead of your user password. Make sure your username is in the wheel group and wheel group is in sudoers file.

The desktop file is broken, the Exec line should be:

Exec=sh -c 'gksu -g wihotspot'

Thanks, sorted.

TLDR: This program is not ready for anyone to use. I give up for now.

This fails to build as you're missing cmake as a build dependency. The main dependency is create_ap which pulls in hostapd and iw. Please read the Command line help and documentation.

EDIT: Ugh, I tried to add create_ap as a dependency and it conflicts:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
linux-wifi-hotspot-git: /etc/create_ap.conf exists in filesystem (owned by create_ap)
linux-wifi-hotspot-git: /usr/bin/create_ap exists in filesystem (owned by create_ap)

linux-wifi-hotspot-git: /usr/share/doc/create_ap/README.md exists in filesystem (owned by create_ap)

This also requires libx11:

-- Checking for module 'x11'
--   Found x11, version 1.6.9

gendesk is not required since you seem to have forgotten to use it to make a desktop file. There is now a desktop file included in the recent commits, FYI.
