Re: How to Install Math::GMP in Windows

If you're using 5.8.x, it is available via PPM from the Active State repository:

c:\test>ppm-shell
ppm 4.05 (ActivePerl 826)
Copyright (C) 2009 ActiveState Software Inc.  All rights reserved.
ppm> search Math::GMP
1: Math-GMP
   High speed arbitrary size integer math
   Version: 2.04
   Author: Chip Turner
   Provide: Math::GMP version 2.04
   Repo: uwinnipeg
   CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Math-GMP-2.04/
[download]

The same may be true for 5.10 32-bit (but not for 64-bit:().

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Hi, I checked the PPM repository. Math::GMP is not installed. I checked in both versions of active perl 5.8.9 and 5.10.1 `ppm> search Math::GMP Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...done Updating ActiveState Package Repository database...done * no packages matching 'Math::GMP' found *` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

It's available from the Uwinnipeg repo. It's also available from the Bribes repo, though I think that version was built against a generic C build of GMP. The uwinnipeg version was built against a GMP library built using many of the assembler routines, and should therefore run a little faster. Uwinnipeg provides version 2.04, whereas Bribes offers the latest 2.06 (built against gmp-4.3.1). I'll update the uwinnipeg repo version to 2.06 today (built against the latest gmp-5.0.1). Cheers, Rob UPDATE: Math-GMP-2.06 (built against gmp-5.0.1) now uploaded to 5.8 and 5.10 Uwinnipeg repos. (Until randyk updates the webpages, they will show the version as 2.04, but you'll actually get 2.06 if you 'ppm install'.)	[reply]
