| 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. |
| |
