Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &gmp-md5sum; Download size: &gmp-size; Estimated disk space required: &gmp-buildsize; Estimated build time: &gmp-time; User Notes: Install GMP by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-cxx --enable-mpbsd && make If you have installed and you wish to create alternate formats of the documentation, issue any or all of the following commands: make -C doc pdf && make -C doc ps && make -C doc html && texi2html -o doc/gmp_nochunks.html doc/gmp.texi && makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/gmp.txt doc/gmp.texi To test the results, issue: make check. Owing to various reports of mis-compilations, the maintainer strongly recommends running the test-suite and reporting any failures. The libraries should not be used in a production environment if there are problems running make check. An easy way to determine if all the tests passed is to redirect the output of the tests to a file (make check >check.log 2>&1) and issue the following command: awk '/tests passed/{total+=$2} ; END{print total}' check.log 139 should be returned. Now, as the root user: make install If you created any of the alternate formats of the documentation, install it using the following commands as the root user: install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version;/html && install -v -m644 doc/gmp.html/* /usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version;/html && install -v -m644 doc/{isa_abi_headache,configuration} \ doc/*.{pdf,dvi,ps,html,txt} \ /usr/share/doc/gmp-&gmp-version; --enable-cxx: This parameter enables C++ support by building the libgmpxx libraries. --enable-mpbsd: This parameter enables building the Berkeley MP compatibility (libmp) libraries.
