I compiled gmp for mingw32:

CPPFLAGS=-fexceptions ../gmp-4.3.1/configure\ --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --target=i686-pc-mingw32\ --prefix=/home/heiko/mw32htools\ --enable-cxx --disable-static --enable-shared

And after that I tried to compile ppl, but it didn't find gmp. Configure does not add the include path "/home/heiko/mw32htools/include" to the flags. I guess that it is because the shared libs are named "libgmp.dll.a" and "libgmpxx.dll.a".

I now added the include path via CPPFLAGS, and build fails because ld can not find -lgmpxx...

I think a shared gmp is not quite a good idea...

Any suggestions?

Hello Heiko,

generally speaking, it is not enough to set CPPFLAGS. You should rather configure with something like

--with-libgmpxx-prefix=/home/heiko/mw32htools

See README.configure for more details. All the best,

Roberto

P.S. Note that in the next PPL release the --with-libgmpxx-prefix will be substituted with --with-gmp-prefix.
