Subject: GMP Libraries in Windows XP



I've searched the net and the faq pages, but have not been able to find a 
way to produce version of libgmp that I can use or link to in my compiler 
(Metrowerks).
Is there any way to get a windows compatible library for gmp, and if so, 
how?

=========================================

I don't know anything about the Metrowerks compiler - and I don't know of 
any instructions that tell you how to build GMP using that compiler.

For more usual methods of building GMP on Windows see:
 http://gmplib.org/manual/Notes-for-Particular-Systems.html#Notes-for-Particular-SystemsIn a nutshell - you would install the freely available MinGW compiler (theWin32 port of gcc) and the freely available MSYS shell.Then, in the MSYS shell, cd to the top level GMP-4.2.2 source directory andrun:./configuremakemake checkmake install(I don't know if/how the library built that way could then be used by theMetrowerks compiler. But it definitely provides a libgmp that can be usedwith the MinGW compiler in either the MSYS or cmd.exe shell.)If you have access to Visual Studio 2005, you could build as per theinstructions at:http://fp.gladman.plus.com/computing/gmp4win.htm(Once again, I don't know if/how the library built that way could be used bythe Metrowerks compiler.)Cheers,Rob
