-====== Building bindings ======
-===== Introduction =====
-The bindings available in Abinit allow external packages to access some Abinit components and remain synchronized with the latest developments in a semi-automatic manner.
-For a typical example using the Abinit parser bindings, please see [[http://www-drfmc.cea.fr/L_Sim/V_Sim/|the home page of V_Sim]], and more specifically its [[http://www-drfmc.cea.fr/L_Sim/V_Sim/install.html|installation howto]].
-**Important note**: since the bindings are still relatively experimental and might cause unexpected issues, we recommend you to build Abinit without the //--enable-exports// option for all production calculations.
-===== Workflow =====
-Abinit bindings are built independently of the core source code. They only require the core build to be configured with the //--enable-exports// option. The following diagram shows the typical workflow used to obtain the bindings at build time.

-+------------------------+    +----------------------------+    +---------------------+
-| Normal build of Abinit |    | Go to the bindings/ subdir |    | Configure and build |
-| configured with        +--->+ of the build directory     +--->+ bindings            |
-| enable_exports set     |    | and edit config.sh         |    |                     |
-+------------------------+    +----------------------------+    +---------------------+
-</ditaa>
-The typical command sequence for such a build would read as follows (replacing the //${...}// variables by the names you chose for your build):
-<code bash>
-cd ${abinit_srcdir}
-mkdir ${abinit_builddir} && cd ${abinit_builddir}
-${abinit_srcdir}/configure --enable-exports
-make -j8
-cd bindings
-edit config.sh
-${abinit_srcdir}/bindings/configure
-make
-</code>
-To build an individual bindings item, just type ''make <name_of_the_binding>-bindings'' from the top //bindings// build directory.
