12 This is for the impatient, for deeper explanations see the chapter
13 "Installing GNU MPC" in the Texinfo documentation (type 'info mpc.info').
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.
20 1. In the directory of the GNU MPC archive, type
22 tar xzf mpc-1.0.tar.gz
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).
31 2. You should run the test suite, type
35 If any error occurs, please report it on the mailing list
36 <mpc-discuss@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> .
39 3. To install the GNU MPC library, type
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.
47 4. You can optionally create documentation, type
55 This requires the Texinfo package (version 4.2 at least).
57 In case of difficulties, please send a description of the problem to
58 <mpc-discuss@lists.gforge.inria.fr>.

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
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.

74 Note for Windows users:
75 =======================
77 There is a special file Makefile.vc for Windows, contributed by Mickaƫl
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:
83 nmake /f makefile.vc GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir>
86 nmake /f makefile.vc GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir> clean
89 nmake /f makefile.vc GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir> check
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):
94 LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
96 In addition, you might need to give the following additional argument to
97 configure (reported for mpc-0.9):
99 CPP="x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -E"
