GMP.2.0.2.4.m.README
Feb 26, 1999

These archives contain Installer.app packages of an OpenStep framework
for GNU's gmp-2.0.2.  It is a C library for doing arbitrary-precision
mathematics.  It also contains a Berkeley-compatible libmp.a.  This
library is utilized in building many other tools, like ssh and various
mathematical software packages (macaulay2).

INSTALLATION

Install the framework to /LocalLibrary/Frameworks.  This is the easiest
place to put it, and software built with this framework expects it to
be there.  Alternate locations are possible, only if you know what you
are doing and/or you don't mind playing with the Makefile in the 
framework to change the default installation parameters.


NOTES

Feb 26, 1999    (2.0.2 port 4)
- Branch 2 distributions: Base (GMP), Developer (GMP-Dev)
  -  Base (GMP) Includes GMP framework binary, a minimal supporting 
     files only.  Intended as client install option.
  - Developer (GMP-Dev): Includes GMP framework binary, 
    libraries (libgmp, libmp), header files, source code 
- Include bundle target for Robert Vasvari <vrobi@ddrummer.com>
- Updated a couple more patches from gmp website.  
  As of now (Feb 26, 1999), we're fully up-to-date.
