GMP (GNU Multi-Precision library)

(1/1)

ixfd64:
I am planning to do some programming with the GMP library. I know that GMP was originally made for Linux, so I downloaded the Windows port.

I compiled the sources on Cygwin and got a file called libgmp.a, which seems to be the library file. Does anyone know where I should place libgmp.a and gmp.h (the header file) for it to work with Code::Blocks?

Thanks in advance.

Leave them where they are and setup your project accordingly (search directories for the compiler/linker and librar{y/ies} for the linker).

Or you can put them in the include and lib directories of the compiler you are using.

I.e. if you use Codeblocks 8.02 with mingw bundled and you installed it to C:\Program files\Codeblocks,
than put libgmp.a to C:\Program files\Codeblocks\Mingw\lib and gmp.h to C:\Program files\Codeblocks\Mingw\include.

This way all projects can use gmp, just #include <gmp.h> at the beginning and add
library gmp in the linker section of the project configuration.
