GMP Repository Usage Tips |
The GMP project uses Mercurial for its revision control. Mercurial is a distributed SCM, where your checkout is just another repository. Where the central repository lives is just an agreement between developers, not something Mercurial enforces.
Once you have Mercurial installed, do
hg clone http://gmplib.org:8000/gmp TARGDIR
for the unstable development version, or
hg clone http://gmplib.org:8000/gmp-5.0 TARGDIR
for the current patch level of GMP 5.0, or
hg clone http://gmplib.org:8000/gmp-4.3 TARGDIR
for the current patch level of GMP 4.3.
See also the Mercurial quickstart guide.
Once you have your own repository, you need to generate some build
files. Perhaps the script .bootstrap works out-of-the
box; if it doesn't, you need to install automake-1.8 and autoconf (at
least version 2.59) and then try .bootstrap again.
Now you should be able to build GMP as usually, i.e., with
configure OPTIONS
make
make check
