I assume you're running MS Win32.

1. Install MingW
2. Install the MSYS shell.
3. In the MSYS shell:
    cd to where you've unpacked the GMP source.
    Run './configure --disable-static --enable-shared'.
    Run 'make'.

(Last time I tried, 'make check' and 'make install' did not function 
properly.)

In the '.libs' folder you'll find the file 'libgmp-3.dll'. Move it to a 
folder that's in your path. In the same folder you'll find the file 
'libgmp.dll.a'. Rename it to 'libgmp.a' and move it to where your 
compiler can find it.

Also move 'gmp.h' to where your compiler will find it.

Let us know at which point(s) in the above procedure you strike trouble.

Cheers,
Rob
