[Aldor-l] GMP on OpenSolaris

[Pippijn van Steenhoven]

Hello,

yesterday, I installed OpenSolaris in VMWare. Aldor runs fine after a few
tweaks. The only thing missing is libgmp, so I can't build native shared
libraries. Apparently, GMP is not allowed due to its licence (GPLv3):
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/arc-process/PTLtestbed/PTL/. However,
according to the GMP website itself, it is LGPL, so I don't quite get it.
Anyhow, I wanted to make more use of GMP in Aldor by replacing the bigint
implementation with it. OpenSolaris not having GMP makes that a bit
harder. Also, is it just me or does GMP have near to no documentation?
How do people know what functions do what? I myself use the C++ interface
to infer the function names ("what's the function for mpz + mpz? Let's
see what mpz_class::operator+(mpz_class) does").

Regards,
