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; Install GMP by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-cxx --enable-mpbsd && make To test the results, issue: make check. Owing to various reports of mis-compilations, the maintainer strongly recommends running the test-suite and report any failures. The libraries should not be used in a production environment if there are problems running make check. Now, as the root user: make install --enable-cxx: This parameter enables C++ support by building the libgmpxx libraries. --enable-mpbsd: This parameter enables building the Berkeley MP compatibility (libmp) libraries. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories None libgmp.[so,a], libgmpxx.[so,a] and libmp.[so,a] None Short Descriptions libgmp.[so,a] contains functions to operate on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. libgmp.[so,a]
