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
sudo ldconfig
Compiling and installing NFD
----------------------------
git clone --recursive git://github.com/named-data/NFD
cd NFD
./waf configure
./waf --prefix=/usr --sysconfprefix=/etc
sudo ./waf install
