9                        Installing GNU MPC
10                        ==================
11
12This is for the impatient, for deeper explanations see the chapter
13"Installing GNU MPC" in the Texinfo documentation (type 'info mpc.info').
14
150. 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
201. 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
312. 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@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
393. 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
474. 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
57In case of difficulties, please send a description of the problem to
58<mpc-discuss@lists.gforge.inria.fr>.

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

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