mrg d43cffdfe2 initial import of MPC 0.9 package.
MPC is a C library for the arithmetic of complex numbers with
arbitrarily high precision and correct rounding of the result.
It is built upon and follows the same principles as MPFR.

GCC >= 4.2 requires MPC.

Installing MPC
==============
This is for the impatient, for deeper explanations see Installing MPC chapter
in the Texinfo documentation (type 'info mpc.info').
0. You first need to install GMP and MPFR. See <http://gmplib.org/>
and <http://www.mpfr.org>.
MPC requires GMP version 4.3.2 or later and MPFR version 2.4.2 or later.
1. In the directory of the MPC archive, type
tar xzf mpc-0.9.tar.gz
cd mpc-0.9
./configure
make
This assumes that GMP and MPFR are installed in a directory searched by
default by the compiler. Otherwise, use --with-gmp=DIR or --with-mpfr=DIR
(see the Texinfo documentation).
2. You can optionally run the test suit, type
make check
3. To install the MPC library, type
make install
By default, the files are copied into /usr/local subdirectories. You
need write permissions on these directories.
4. You can optionally create documentation, type
make dvi
or
make ps
This requires the Texinfo package (version 4.2 at least).
In case of difficulties, please send a description of the problem to
<mpc-discuss@lists.gforge.inria.fr>.

Note for AIX users:
===================
If GMP was built with the 64-bit ABI, before building and testing MPC,
it might be necessary to set the OBJECT_MODE environment variable to 64
by, e.g.,
export OBJECT_MODE=64
This has been tested with the C compiler IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition
V8.0 for AIX, version: 08.00.0000.0021, GMP 4.2.4 and MPFR 2.4.1.

Note for Windows users:
=======================
There is a special file Makefile.vc for Windows, contributed by Mickael
Gastineau. This file works both for the Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK,
and for the Windows SDK of Vista. To use it, simply replace "make" by
"nmake /f makefile.vc" in the above instructions:
compilation :
nmake /f makefile.vc GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir>
clean :
nmake /f makefile.vc GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir> clean
check :
nmake /f makefile.vc GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir> check
For any issue related to the makefile.vc file, please contact directly
Mickael Gastineau at <gastineau at imcce dot fr> (replace 'at' by '@',
and 'dot' by '.').
If you want to compile mpc with mingw in the msys shell, you might need to
add the following to the configure command (or in your environment):
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
