Okay, sorry, I made you build the |ns3| part of the system twice,

The build.py script discussed above supports also the ``--enable-examples``
and ``enable-tests`` arguments, but in general, does not directly support
other waf options; for example, this will not work:
::
$ ./build.py --disable-python
will result in
::
build.py: error: no such option: --disable-python
However, the special operator ``--`` can be used to pass additional
options through to waf, so instead of the above, the following will work:
::
$ ./build.py -- --disable-python
as it generates the underlying command ``./waf configure --disable-python``.
Here are a few more introductory tips about Waf.
