1Installing gmpy2 on Unix/Linux 2------------------------------ 3 4Many Linux distributions provide gmpy2 in their repositories. Please check 5your distribution's repositories first. 6 7Requirements 8------------ 9 10gmpy2 requires recent versions of GMP, MPFR and MPC. Specifically, gmpy2 11requires GMP 5.0.0 or later, MPFR 3.1.0 or later, and MPC 1.0.0 or later. 12 13Quick Instructions 14------------------ 15 16To manually compile gmpy2, you will need to install the development libraries 17for Python, GMP, MPFR, and MPC are installed. The package names vary between 18distributions. "python-dev", "python2-dev", or "python3.4-dev" are typical 19package names for the Python development files. Installing the MPC development 20package should automatically install the GMP and MPFR development packages. 21"libmpc-dev" is a typical name for the MPC development package. 22 23Once the required development libraries have been installed, compiling should 24be as simple as: 25 26 $ cd <gmpy2 source directory> 27 $ python setup.py build_ext 28 $ sudo python setup.py install 29 30If this fails, read on. 31 32Detailed Instructions 33--------------------- 34 35If your Linux distribution does not support recent versions of GMP, MPFR and 36MPC, you will need to compile your own versions. To avoid any possible conflict 37with existing libraries on your system, it is recommended to build a statically 38linked version of gmpy2. The following instructions assume the GMP, MPFR, MPC, 39and gmpy2 source files are all located in $HOME/src and the static libraries 40are installed into $HOME/static 41 421. Create the desired destination directory for the GMP, MPFR, and MPC 43 libraries. 44 45 $ mkdir $HOME/static 46 472. Download and un-tar the GMP source code. Change to GMP source directory and 48 compile GMP. 49 50 $ cd $HOME/src/gmp-6.0.0 51 $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/static --enable-static --disable-shared --with-pic 52 $ make 53 $ make check 54 $ make install 55 563. Download and un-tar the MPFR source code. Change to MPFR source directory 57 and compile MPFR. 58 59 $ cd $HOME/src/mpfr-3.1.2 60 $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/static --enable-static --disable-shared --with-pic --with-gmp=$HOME/static 61 $ make 62 $ make check 63 $ make install 64 654. Download and un-tar the MPC source code. Change to MPC source directory 66 and compile MPC. 67 68 $ cd $HOME/src/mpc-1.0.3 69 $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/static --enable-static --disable-shared --with-pic --with-gmp=$HOME/static --with-mpfr=$HOME/static 70 $ make 71 $ make check 72 $ make install 73 745. Compile gmpy2 and specify the location of GMP, MPFR and MPC. 75 76 $ cd $HOME/src/gmpy2-2.1.0 77 $ python setup.py build_ext --static=$HOME/static install 78 79If you get a "permission denied" error message, you may need to use: 80 81 $ python setup.py build_ext --static=$HOME/static 82 $ sudo python setup.py install 83 84Installing gmpy2 on Windows 85--------------------------- 86 87Please see windows_build.txt (preferred) or msys2_build.txt (alpha). 88 89 90
