Hello, not trying to discourage you from using MPIR in any way, but I noticed a couple things:
In terms of license and support for Windows this fork of the library seems > much stronger. > MPIR uses the same license as GMP (it regularly imports code from it), so I fail to see how the license makes you prefer MPIR. > I have also noticed that it also supports cygwin64 and other variants > which I need. This is leading me to consider a switch, distributing a > trimmed down versión of MPIR (no tests, probably no docs) replacing the > copy of GMP. > > However, while building MPIR with my copy of Visual Studio Express 2012 I > noticed that it would not work because it does not support it yet and > because MPIR assumes yasm is present. Since ECL tries to build > out-of-the-box with just a minimal set of tools, I have made a github fork > that changes configure.bat and make.bat to allow building in just C format. > This is sub-optimal, but users should be able to build better copies of > MPIR if they wish. > If you only need a minimal version without the strongest optimizations, did you consider using mini-gmp (distributed with GMP as a single C file)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
