GMP.framework.2.0.2.1.README
Mar 6, 1998

These archive contains a Rhapsody 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

Upack the archive,
> gnutar xzvf GMP.2.0.2.1.PI.tar.gz
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

I cheated to make this framework.  It's not a TRUE framework built with
ProjectBuilder, but a homebrew concoction I've made to imitate the
real thing.  I just wanted a dylib version of the library, and this
is the result.

I cheated building this package.  The .tar.Z inside the pkg wrapper
is REALLY a .tar.gz archive, which makes this package much smaller.
The installer.sh doesn't mind, since it just pipes it to gzip and gnutar.

Boy, I'm cheating a lot!  (-:

Contact me if you are interested in the (slightly modified) source code.


CHANGELOG

Mar 6, 1998
- OK, did i386 asm, but I'm not using it.

Mar 3, 1998
- First attempt at Rhapsody version.
- No asm, just C for compatibility (for now).
