Problems compiling the patches on the tidbits page

[Juergen Bullinger]

Hello all,

I had problems compiling the development tidbits into the 4.2.1 sources.

I am running a AMD Athlon 64 system running on linux. I successfully
compiled the original sources of gmp 4.2.1. Now I wanted to recompile it
using the development tidbits provided on the swox-page.
I got some errors during the compilation/during test.

Here are the results:

* first error (get_str.c/set_str.c):

A header seems to be missing. The type powers_t is not defined. Could
somebody please provide the missing typedef or header file?

<<<<

* second error: divexact.c

divexact.h was not found. I could work around this problem by creating a
symlink in the gmp source-rootdir:

ln -s mpn/generic/divexact.h divexact.h

=> probably it would be better to fix this by using the -I-option to
help the compiler to find the header in mpn/generic.

If you are interested, I could create an install script for these
patches. For this script I would need some more additional info:


* What do I have to do to use the files

test-invert_2exp.c (divexact-patch)
test-divexact.c    (divexact-patch)

test-muak_div.c    (muak_div-patch)

are they meant for make test? Do I have to include them in the make
file?

* gmp-impl.h-gcd-newlines:

I guess I need to put these lines in an ifdef-branch to avoid
redefinitions, right?

thank you in advance

kind regards
