| GMP PERL MODULE INSTALLATION |
| |
| |
| This module can be compiled within the GMP source directory or moved |
| elsewhere and compiled. An installed GMP can be used, or a specified |
| GMP build tree. Both static and shared GMP builds will work. |
| |
| The simplest case is when GMP has been installed to a standard system |
| location |
| |
| perl Makefile.PL |
| make |
| |
| If not yet installed then the top-level GMP build directory must be |
| specified |
| |
| perl Makefile.PL GMP_BUILDDIR=/my/gmp/build |
| make |
| |
| In any case, with the module built, the sample program provided can be |
| run |
| |
| perl -Iblib/arch sample.pl |
| |
| If you built a shared version of libgmp but haven't yet installed it, |
| then it might be necessary to add a run-time path to it. For example |
| |
| LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/gmp/build/.libs perl -Iblib/arch sample.pl |
| |
| Documentation is provided in pod format in GMP.pm, and will have been |
| "man"-ified in the module build |
| |
| man -l blib/man3/GMP.3pm |
| or |
| man -M`pwd`/blib GMP |
| |
| A test script is provided, running a large number of more or less |
| trivial checks |
| |
| make test |
| |
| The module and its documentation can be installed in the usual way |
| |
| make install |
| |
| This will be into /usr/local or wherever the perl Config module |
| directs, but that can be controlled back at the Makefile.PL stage with |
| the usual ExtUtils::MakeMaker options. |
| |
| Once installed, programs using the GMP module become simply |
| |
| perl sample.pl |
| |
| And the documentation read directly too |
| |
| man GMP |
