      9                         Installing GNU MPC
     10                         ==================
     11 
     12 This is for the impatient, for deeper explanations see the chapter
     13 "Installing GNU MPC" in the Texinfo documentation (type 'info mpc.info').
     14 
     15 0. You first need to install GMP, the GNU Multiprecision Arithmetic Library,
     16    see <http://gmplib.org/>, and GNU MPFR, see <http://www.mpfr.org>.
     17    GNU MPC requires GMP version 4.3.2 or later
     18    and GNU MPFR version 2.4.2 or later.
     19 
     20 1. In the directory of the GNU MPC archive, type
     21 
     22       tar xzf mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz
     23       cd mpc-1.0.1
     24       ./configure
     25       make
     26 
     27    This assumes that GMP and GNU MPFR are installed in a directory searched
     28    by default by the compiler. Otherwise, use --with-gmp=DIR or
     29    --with-mpfr=DIR with ./configure (see the Texinfo documentation).
     30 
     31 2. You should run the test suite, type
     32 
     33       make check
     34 
     35    If any error occurs, please report it on the mailing list
     36    <mpc-discuss (a] lists.gforge.inria.fr>, or file a bug at the bug tracker
     37    <https://gforge.inria.fr/tracker/?atid=607&group_id=131&func=browse> .
     38 
     39 3. To install the GNU MPC library, type
     40 
     41       make install
     42 
     43    By default, the files are copied into subdirectories of /usr/local.
     44    You need write permissions on these directories, or pass an alternative
     45    installation directory using the --prefix option to ./configure.
     46 
     47 4. You can optionally create documentation, type
     48 
     49       make dvi
     50 
     51    or
     52 
     53       make ps
     54 
     55    This requires the Texinfo package (version 4.2 at least).
     56 
     57 In case of difficulties, please send a description of the problem to
     58 <mpc-discuss (a] lists.gforge.inria.fr>.

     62 Note for AIX users:
     63 ===================
     64 
     65 If GMP was built with the 64-bit ABI, before building and testing GNU MPC,
     66 it might be necessary to set the OBJECT_MODE environment variable to 64
     67 by, e.g.,
     68    export OBJECT_MODE=64
     69 This has been tested with the C compiler IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition
     70 V8.0 for AIX, version: 08.00.0000.0021, GMP 4.2.4 and GNU MPFR 2.4.1.
     71

     73 
     74 Note for Windows users:
     75 =======================
     76 
     77 There is a special file Makefile.vc for Windows, contributed by Mickal
     78 Gastineau. This file works both for the Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK,
     79 and for the Windows SDK of Vista. To use it, simply replace "make" by
     80 "nmake /f makefile.vc" in the above instructions:
     81 
     82 compilation :
     83 nmake /f makefile.vc GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir>
     84 
     85 clean :
     86 nmake /f makefile.vc GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir> clean
     87 
     88 check :
     89 nmake /f makefile.vc GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir> check
     90 
     91 If you want to compile mpc with mingw in the msys shell, you might need to
     92 add the following to the configure command (or in your environment):
     93 
     94 LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
     95 
     96 In addition, you might need to give the following additional argument to
     97 configure (reported for mpc-0.9):
     98 
     99 CPP="x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -E"
