[ndnSIM] Trying to re-compile ndnSIM class Forwarder

[John Baugh]

Still no progress since last night sadly.

If any of you have a suggestion or answers to any of my questions below
please give your input.  I think I'm fairly close, but I'm missing
something I believe.

Thanks

John

Greetings again friends,

After some good advice from Ashlesh, I was able to get a different error
(seems to be a linker error now instead of a compiler error... progress is
progress I suppose.)

So, related to this:

1.)  There appear to be multiple waf copies in different directories.
Under what circumstances would you run, say, the waf inside the *NFD *directory
as opposed to the one at the top level *ns-3* directory?

2.)  I ran the following from the *ns-3 *directory:

* ./waf distclean
* ./waf configure
*./waf
*sudo waf install


    If you recall, I modified the *forwarder.cpp* file and the *forwarder.hpp
*file in the src/ndnSIM/NFD/daemon/fw directory to contain a
*printMessage* method.
I made sure it was public.

    After the ./waf commands aforementioned, I checked the
ns-3/build/ns3/ndnSIM/NFD/daemon/fw directory, and the *forwarder.hpp
*file *does
seem to be a copy *of the one from the src/ndnSIM/NFD.... directory.

    But I am *now getting a linker error:*

    "... scenarios/ndn-simple2.cpp:120: undefined reference to
'nfd::Forwarder::printMessage()
         collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status"


Ideas?

Thanks,

John
