Oct 1996
These archives contains an Installer.app package for GNU's gmp-2.0.2. It is
a C library for doing arbitrary-precision mathematics. It also contains a
Berkley-compatible libmp.a.
This is a second attempt at a full NEXTSTEP port of gmp. It now contains
support for hppa, and includes a patch, when applied to the original
gmp-2.0.2 source, allows you to build gmp yourself.
gmp-2.0.2.generic.NIHS.tar.gz:
Includes a library built using portable (generic) C routines. This
archive was easy to make (for me), but is not as fast as the
optimized asm version (see below).
gmp-2.0.2.NIHS.tar.gz
Includes a library built using faster asm routines. This was more
difficult, but I've finally finished the port. Included here is a
patch to make gmp-2.0.2 compile successfully. NOTE: the patch has
been forwarded to the author of gmp, and it's modifications will
likely be incorporated into the next release of gmp.
UPDATE: (October 28, 1996) HPPA NEWS
Support for hppa is back.
