Installing MPC
==============
+This is for the impatient, for deeper explanations see Installing MPC chapter
+in the Texinfo documentation (type 'info mpc.info').
+
0. You first need to install GMP and MPFR. See <http://gmplib.org/>
and <http://www.mpfr.org>.
MPC requires GMP version 4.2.2 or later and MPFR version 2.3.0 or later.
-1. In the MPC build directory, type
+1. In the directory MPC archive, type
+ tar xzf mpc-0.4.7.tar.gz
+ cd mpc-0.4.7
+ ./configure
make
- This assumes that GMP and MPFR are installed into /usr/local.
-
- Otherwise, type
-
- make GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir>
-
- where <gmp_install_dir> is the directory where you installed GMP and
- <mpfr_install_dir> is the directory where you installed MPFR. The GMP
- header files like gmp.h are then expected to be in <gmp_install_dir>/include,
- the GMP library files like libgmp.a in <gmp_install_dir>/lib, and likewise
- for MPFR.
-
-2. Type
+ This assumes that GMP and MPFR are installed in a directory searched by
+ default by the compiler. Otherwise, use --with-gmp=DIR or --with-mpfr=DIR
+ (see Texinfo documentation).
+2. You can optionally run the test suit, type
+
make check
- resp.
-
- make check GMP=<gmp_install_dir> MPFR=<mpfr_install_dir>
+3. To install the MPC library, type
+
+ make install
- to produce and run the test files (please check that <gmp_install_dir>/lib
- is first in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable if you use the dynamic
- GMP libraries, or compile the test files with the -static option).
+ By default, the files are copied into /usr/local subdirectories. You
+ need write permissions on these directories.
-3. Type
+4. You can optionally create documentation, type
make mpc.dvi
or
+
make mpc.ps
- to produce the documentation in DVI or Postscript format.
+ This requires Texinfo package.
