You need to install libayantanaindicator to be able to build Diodon with application indicator support.

With a quick search it seems though that RHEL 8 is not supporting the Ayantana Indicator yet but only the deprecated libappindicator library.

What you could do is to change one line in the meson.build to use libappindicator till RHEL actually supports Ayantana. Basically revert the diff you find at https://github.com/diodon-dev/diodon/pull/20/files for file meson.build.

Does this work for you?

Can you help with this problem?
