Can't build NFD-out-of-the-box

[tanim-ics]

I am trying to build this NFD as it has a self-learning strategy V2, which adds unicast faces automatically. But I can not build as it throws the following error:

$ ./waf configure

I have tried ndn-cxx-0.7.1, 0.7.0, 0.6.0. It did not work. What ndn-cxx library should I use to build the NFD?

[philoL]

It should be safe to use a version of ndn-cxx just before sl-2 patches are committed. You may try this commit https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cxx/commit/670a52f2a30461c824926cc1108ba209fc4227eb.

Hi @philoL, I tried to update the current state of the sl-2 branch to be compatible with the upstream repository again (currently still a bit WIP, but I hope to be finished soon). Would you accept a PR with the changes? Or do you currently have a different roadmap in mind?

[JKRhb]

You now can find an initial updated/fixed version on this branch.
