INSTALLING GNU MP
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
|
|
These instructions are only for the impatient. Others should read the install
|
|
instructions in gmp.info. Use
|
|
|
|
info -f doc/gmp.info
|
|
|
|
from the gmp source directory.
|
|
|
|
Here are some brief instructions on how to install GMP. First you need to
|
|
compile. Since you're impatient, try this
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make check <= VERY IMPORTANT!!
|
|
|
|
If that fails, or you care about the performance of GMP, you need to read the
|
|
full instructions in the chapter "Installing GMP" in the manual.
|
|
|
|
You should not skip the "make check" part; the risk that the GMP sources are
|
|
miscompiled are unfortunately quite high. And if they indeed are, "make check"
|
|
is very likely to trigger the compiler-introduced bug.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can install the library with the following command. This will
|
|
be to /usr/local by default, and you'll probably need to be "root" to be able
|
|
to write there.
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
To create the printable documentation from the texinfo source, type "make
|
|
gmp.dvi" or "make gmp.ps". This requires various "tex" commands.
|
|
|
|
If you are new to GMP, it is a good idea you at least read the chapter "GMP
|
|
Basics" in the manual.
|
|
|
|
Some known build problems are noted in the "Installing GMP" chapter of
|
|
the manual. Please report other problems to gmp-bugs@gmplib.org.
