No problem at all. Whatever works best for you. It all seems to have worked fine, which is great! Good riddance to svn. :-) Bill On 25 November 2012 22:20, Brian Gladman wrote: > On 25/11/2012 23:07, Bill Hart wrote: >> Hi Brian, >> >> great! I've merged this to my repo. >> >> By the way, an ad

[mpir-devel] MPIR Git repository -- corrected

2012-11-25 Thread Bill Hart
MPIR has switched to using Git. We are using Git very much like SVN with most development happening in the master branch. The repository is found here: https://github.com/wbhart/mpir Below is a (hopefully corrected) list of instructions if you wish to contribute as a developer on *nix or Windows

Something like this might work. Unfortunately there are widespread issues with standard C++ header files interacting poorly, and the obvious thing simply didn't work when we were preparing the release. I don't recall the specifics. However, I've added this issue to the todo list for the next relea

Sure. One thing we do need to do is document more clearly the intended include order and some of these subtleties. We hit these ourselves when preparing the release. We thought it would make sense for the test files to be written like user files without dependence on config.h. Unfortunately, our p

The check for stdint.h at build time is not available when using mpirxx.h from another project. Autotools puts the flag in config.h, which is not generally available to mpirxx.h. Bill. On 25 November 2012 16:22, Jean-Pierre Flori wrote: > > > On Sunday, November 25, 2012 5:02:59 PM UTC+1, Marc w
