Building GMPlib on Mac M1

[Bjørn Christensen]

I think this is a red herring, it turns out that the nfs share has some kind of problem causing the compiler to generate empty object files at random.

 

 

Sorry for inconvenience.

Have downloaded gmp-6.2.1.

 

It seems that all the tests for different headers are failing eg fcntl.h , float.h

 

Resulting in errors when I make install.

 

set_str.c:132:24: error: implicit declaration of function 'localeconv' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

  const char  *point = GMP_DECIMAL_POINT;

#define GMP_DECIMAL_POINT  (localeconv()->decimal_point)

Trying to configure with

Are there any suggestions on how to build gmp 6.2.1 on Mac M1? 

Is this only a problem for me?

 

I have created a small test program that includes the locale.h and that compiles fine. Also I have copied from the config.log the content of confdefs.h and included that with no problems.

PS Notice I have created the confdefs.h from content in config.log.
