GMP (GNU multi-precision) Library 2.0.2
ported to OS/2 EMX, release a
Introduction
GNU MP is a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed
integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. It has a rich set of
functions, and the functions have a regular interface.
GNU MP is designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands and for
huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic
arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, by carefully optimized assembly
code for the most common inner loops for a lots of CPUs, and by a general
emphasis on speed (instead of simplicity or elegance).
OS/2 port
This port contains two a.out-format static libraries (i486 and Pentium
optimized) and a DLL for dynamic linking.
I have provided working Makefiles, however the Configure script is not
supplied.
No code changes were required, the libraries passed the accompanying tests.
Requirements
GCC > 2.7 & EMX 0.9c fix 2 (probably)

not make messes in the house." -- from the notebooks of Lazarus Long
