[ndnSIM] Modifying ndnSIM, compiling/building a single file (or small subset) rather than everything?

[Spyridon (Spyros) Mastorakis]

Hi John,

unfortunately, this is the way that a compiler (gcc/g++, clang, Intel’s C/C++ compiler, etc.) and linker work.

When you change a file that is (explicitly or implicitly) included by a number of other files, all these files have to recompiled and linked again.

Thanks,
