    Alien::GMP - Alien package for the GNU Multiple Precision library.

VERSION

    version 1.16

SYNOPSIS

    In your Build.PL:

     use Module::Build;
     use Alien::GMP;
     my $builder = Module::Build->new(
       ...
       configure_requires => {
         'Alien::GMP' => '0',
         ...
       },
       extra_compiler_flags => Alien::GMP->cflags,
       extra_linker_flags   => Alien::GMP->libs,
       ...
     );
     
     $build->create_build_script;

    In your Makefile.PL:

     use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
     use Config;
     use Alien::GMP;
     
     WriteMakefile(
       ...
       CONFIGURE_REQUIRES => {
         'Alien::GMP' => '0',
       },
       CCFLAGS => Alien::GMP->cflags . " $Config{ccflags}",
       LIBS    => [ Alien::GMP->libs ],
       ...
     );

DESCRIPTION

    This distribution installs GMP so that it can be used by other Perl
    distributions. If already installed for your operating system, and it
    can be found, this distribution will use the GMP that comes with your
    operating system, otherwise it will download it from the Internet,
    build and install it for you.

 C++ support

    This Alien will provide the C++ bindings for GMP (libgmpxx) if
    possible. If you do not have a C++ compiler, or if your operating
    system vendor provides a GMP package without the needed C++ files then
    it will not be available. To use the C++ bindings, you can use the alt
    method to create a C++ instance of this GMP Alien. For example:

     use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
     use Config;
     use Alien::GMP;
     
     WriteMakefile(
       ...
       CONFIGURE_REQUIRES => {
         'Alien::GMP' => '1.06', # require version that provides C++ bindings
       },
       CCFLAGS => Alien::GMP->alt('gmpxx')->cflags . " $Config{ccflags}",
       LIBS    => [ Alien::GMP->alt('gmpxx')->libs ],
       ...
     );

Inline support

    This module supports Inline's with functionality.
