3 GMP in NetBSD. We need GMP for GCC >= 4.2.
6 Building GMP without configure - how to port GMP build to a new platform.
8 The GMP build doesn't map very well to normal make. The ./configure phase
9 creates a bunch of symlinks and weeds out the sources lists, and there are
10 files with the same name in different subdirectories linked into the same
11 final product. All of these issues need to be dealt with.
13 There are a few steps to this:
15 - run ./configure, save the output. you can use the makefile
16 "Makefile.netbsd-gmp" in this directory to run this with the
17 right options, etc. run it with nbmake-$MACHINE.
19 - create src/external/gpl3/gmp/lib/libgmp/arch/${MACHINE_ARCH} dir,
20 and copy these files into it:
27 some of these files might have src/obj references. in particular
28 fix GMP_MPARAM_H_SUGGEST to start from ./mpn/... and make sure
29 we #define __GMP_CC to "gcc -std=gnu99", and make sure that
30 CONFIG_TOP_SRCDIR is not defined in config.m4
32 XXX make this automatic
35 - parse the ./configure output and note all created symlinks
36 for mpn. these need to be converted into a new Makefile.inc.
37 there is a script in this subdir build-gmp-Makefile.inc.awk
38 that can be used to do this. it should just work to generate
39 the first section of Makefile.inc if fed the entire configure
42 assembler files generally want -DOPERATION_${foo} defined for
43 each way they are compiled or pre-processed. the pre-processor
44 used is m4 to parse, and we and create .s files from the .asm
45 files that we then we feed into $CC.
47 The amd64 port is a good reference to compare. The trialdivtab.h
48 generation may need to be moved the into libgmp/Makefile itself.
50 This mips64* ports need some minor hacks to the generated gmp*.h
51 files to fix their library builds for compat issues. See these
