| 33 | GMP PERL MODULE INSTALLATION |
| 34 | |
| 35 | |
| 36 | This module can be compiled within the GMP source directory or moved |
| 37 | elsewhere and compiled. An installed GMP can be used, or a specified |
| 38 | GMP build tree. Both static and shared GMP builds will work. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | The simplest case is when GMP has been installed to a standard system |
| 41 | location |
| 42 | |
| 43 | perl Makefile.PL |
| 44 | make |
| 45 | |
| 46 | If not yet installed then the top-level GMP build directory must be |
| 47 | specified |
| 48 | |
| 49 | perl Makefile.PL GMP_BUILDDIR=/my/gmp/build |
| 50 | make |
| 51 | |
| 52 | In any case, with the module built, the sample program provided can be |
| 53 | run |
| 54 | |
| 55 | perl -Iblib/arch sample.pl |
| 56 | |
| 57 | If you built a shared version of libgmp but haven't yet installed it, |
| 58 | then it might be necessary to add a run-time path to it. For example |
| 59 | |
| 60 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/gmp/build/.libs perl -Iblib/arch sample.pl |
| 61 | |
| 62 | Documentation is provided in pod format in GMP.pm, and will have been |
| 63 | "man"-ified in the module build |
| 64 | |
| 65 | man -l blib/man3/GMP.3pm |
| 66 | or |
| 67 | man -M`pwd`/blib GMP |
| 68 | |
| 69 | A test script is provided, running a large number of more or less |
| 70 | trivial checks |
| 71 | |
| 72 | make test |
| 73 | |
| 74 | The module and its documentation can be installed in the usual way |
| 75 | |
| 76 | make install |
| 77 | |
| 78 | This will be into /usr/local or wherever the perl Config module |
| 79 | directs, but that can be controlled back at the Makefile.PL stage with |
| 80 | the usual ExtUtils::MakeMaker options. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Once installed, programs using the GMP module become simply |
| 83 | |
| 84 | perl sample.pl |
| 85 | |
| 86 | And the documentation read directly too |
| 87 | |
| 88 | man GMP |
