High-performance scientific software is commonly compiled on the computing system, for optimizing it according to its specific characteristics. However, this compilation is often a tedious and limiting process, which frequently becomes an obstacle for its use. Therefore, a set of routines was developed for compiling the necessary libraries, the simulation package, and their utilities. The program supports two of the most commonly used first-principles calculation packages: SIESTA and VASP, and works with different versions of those packages and their required libraries, and can be easily modified to support additional calculation tools.
