[ndnSIM] Error Compiling ndn-cxx

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Stephen

It seems that you didn't clone ndnSIM repository recursively, and the build
system is picking up the ndn-cxx installed in /usr or /usr/local.
I can tell that from line numbers of Face constructors.

ndnSIM is not compatible with normal ndn-cxx, but requires a specific fork.
For ndnSIM 2.7, that would be
https://github.com/named-data-ndnSIM/ndn-cxx/tree/ndn-cxx-0.6.5-ndnSIM

To fix this problem, clone ndnSIM repository recursively:

   - If you decide to re-clone, use 'git clone --recursive'.
   - If you want to use the existing checkout, run 'git submodule update
   --init' within ndnSIM repository.


If you are still getting same error, consider running ndnSIM in a separate
container where you do not have ndn-cxx installed systemwide.
This eliminates the chance of picking up wrong versions.

Yours, Junxiao
