NFD

Installing NFD on Fedora

========================

The trick in compiling and installing NFD and the library on Fedora 20 is that Fedora by default is configured to look for libraries only in `/usr/lib` and for binaries only in `/usr/bin` (as opposed to also `/usr/local/lib` and `/usr/local/bin` as additional options).

To make sure Fedora finds libraries in /usr/local/lib folder, add a new entry for `ld.conf`.  For 64-bit platform, this would be

    sudo echo /usr/local/lib64 > /etc/ld.conf.so.d/usr_local_lib64.conf

It is also possible to install NFD and ndn-cxx in standard location `/usr`, by adding `--sysconfprefix=/etc` during `./waf configure` stage.

Installing prerequisite

-----------------------

    sudo yum install git gcc-c++ openssl-devel sqlite-devel cryptopp-devel boost-devel libpcap-devel

On Fedora 23+

    sudo dnf install git gcc-c++ openssl-devel sqlite-devel cryptopp-devel boost-devel libpcap-devel

Compiling and installing ndn-cxx library

----------------------------------------

    git clone git://github.com/named-data/ndn-cxx

    cd ndn-cxx

    ./waf configure

    sudo ./waf install --prefix=/usr --sysconfprefix=/etc

    sudo ldconfig

Compiling and installing NFD

----------------------------

    git clone --recursive git://github.com/named-data/NFD

    cd NFD

    ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfprefix=/etc

    sudo ./waf install
