Hi Juanjo, Thanks very much for these patches. As they only touch configure and make.bat which were not under current maintenance by anyone, I will merge these directly into our repository.
Naturally we are familiar with ECL and we are pleased that you are considering MPIR. Our next release is still a way off due to limited availability of time for the developers at the moment. But some patches get added to the git repo every now and again, which makes it more up-to-date than the latest release. You may wish to base your copy on that for now. Thanks again for the contribution. Best Wishes, Bill. On 30 August 2013 08:29, Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll < juanjose.garciarip...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I just wanted to introduce myself.
