Hi Himanshu,
  If you are new to GMP _and_ VC++, it might be easier to try to compile GMP
with MSYS (MinGW). The link above provides similar instructions for those. I
wrote a post that extends Zillin's documentation a bit:

http://fwiw.heroku.com/articles/2010/03/02/gmp-compiling-gmp-on-windows/

Feel free to email me if you want more help. I've done this on 32-bit
Windows XP and I'm about to embark on compiling GMP on 64-bit Windows 7.
