6.6. Standalone Per-Binding Builds🔗

Each binding can also be built independently of the top-level driver, which is occasionally convenient when iterating on a single language layer:

# C shared library + header
cmake -B ffi/build ffi && cmake --build ffi/build

# Python package — venv-based editable install.  Or use the
# top-level CMake driver above with -DL4YAML_PYTHON_INSTALL=venv.
python -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e python

# Rust crates — needs libl4yaml.so on disk; either build it via
# the cmake line above (the default path is ffi/out/) or point
# at any other location with L4YAML_LIB_DIR.
cargo build --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml

The top-level driver wires these together so that artifact paths match the install tree without needing per-binding configuration.
