Build 3ML without support for C/C++ plugins (default, for most users)

At the moment only the HAWC plugin needs the C/C++ wrapper interface. If you are not interested in using HAWC data, it is strongly adviced that you build 3ML without support for C/C++ plugins, by simply doing:

> python setup.py install

For HAWC: build 3ML with support for C/C++ plugins

If you are interested in HAWC analysis, you need C/C++ support and of course you need the HAWC AERIE software installed and set up first. Then, in order to build 3ML with C/C++ support you need the Boost::python library, which comes with AERIE. Set the BOOSTROOT environment variables to the directory containing boost (it is under the Ape externals, and it contains a "lib" and an "include" directory):

> export BOOSTROOT=[path to the boost directory]

Then build 3ML with boost:

> python setup.py build --with-boost

At the end you should see a message like this:
