NAME

Alien::GMP - Build and install the GNU Multiple Precision library.

SYNOPSIS

my $inc_dir = Alien::GMP::inc_dir();
my $lib_dir = Alien::GMP::lib_dir();

DESCRIPTION

This module looks for version 5.0.0 or greater of the GNU Multiple Precision (GMP) library. If not found, the builder script downloads, compiles, and installs it to the Alien-GMP distribution's shared directory. Compilation can be made to happen regardless of whether GMP is already found by setting the environment variable, COMPILE_ALIEN_GMP, to a true value.

FUNCTIONS

Alien::GMP::inc_dir()

Takes no arguments and returns the C includes directory that contains gmp.h.

Alien::GMP::lib_dir()

Takes no arguments and returns the C libraries directory that contains libgmp.so.
