Thanks for the reply

I followed all the steps given in Practical Guide to Compiling C-based modules under Win32, also downloaded files from http://www.cs.nyu.edu/exact/core/gmp/.

I still got some errors

I got the following message when i ran makefile.pl

C:\downloads\Math-GMP-2.03>perl makefile.pl

Checking if your kit is complete...

Looks good

With nmake I got an error as follows,
