GMP For Windows

[Peter Leong]

Hi Sisyphus,

Thanks a lot it worked now I used the ppm way.
However I am having problem now with Cyrpt::DSA installation.

Over the few weeks that I have picked up Perl, I realized that I can
install Perl modules from CPAN using the following steps.

1) Makefile.PL
2) Nmake
3) Nmake Test
4) Nmake Install

Even if I fail I can use the PPM way :)

Anyway, most of the CPAN modules will get installed successfully,
however I have encountered a few which failed at the nmake level.

Do you know what I am missing here?  I get the feeling it's the make
utility that I giving me the problem.

Hi All,

I am new to this user list and was hoping to get some help on GMP
installation. I was trying to install Math::GMP from CPAN and it
requires me to install GMP library which brought me to this user list
"grinning".

-----------------------

Hi Peter,
I'll let others give you the links to Delta Trinity's GMP binaries, and
to Brian Gladman's instructions on how to build GMP using MS Visual
Studio (- mainly because I don't have those links currently at my
fingertips).

However, if you're after a quick'n'simple fix, Math::GMP binaries for
any Win32 multi-threaded perl 5.8 (or 5.6) can be obtained from
http://www.kalinabears.com.au/w32perl/math_gmp.html

Those binaries were built against a static GMP (version 4.1.4) library -
so they work perfectly well without having GMP installed on your
computer. See the Readme file that's included with the binaries for
installation instructions - it's very simple, especially if you have the
ppm utility.

Cheers,
Rob
