GMP is the GNU Multi-Precision library:

When compiling the GMP library, do not forget to enable the C++ interface:
add --enable-cxx to the configuration options.

seems like the scripts need a kind of fix to know about a newer version

Already fixed in upstream's git repository (see URL). The fix should be available with the next version of ppl.

[Comment 2 Matt 2010-05-07 13:48:35 UTC]

yeah, that's in a few months ;)

any plans to include the fix for dev-libs/ppl-0.10.2 provided at:

http://www.cs.unipr.it/pipermail/ppl-devel/2010-January/015873.html ?

[Comment 3 Matt 2010-05-07 13:50:03 UTC]

well, there seems to be another issue:

http://www.cs.unipr.it/pipermail/ppl-devel/2010-January/015874.html

>_GMP_BITS_PER_MP_LIMB is used in  configure  of PPL0.10.2 but this
>does not exist in GMP5.0.0.

>I used a kludge to force  configure  to accept it and  make check
>seemed to report passes for all tests.

I have no clue what that means :(

[Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2010-05-08 02:25:00 UTC]

I believe PPL 0.11 is due to be released tomorrow.

[Comment 5 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2010-05-15 08:28:14 UTC]

so much for that idea. :P  i'll add the patch when i get a minute.

[Comment 6 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2010-05-29 05:52:30 UTC]

Fixed.

[Comment 7 Matt 2010-05-30 10:13:10 UTC]

Thank you very much for your help Ryan ! :)

I'm currently in the process of recompiling world with gcc 4.5, dev-libs/gmp-5.0.1 and the fixed dev-libs/ppl so far everything went smoothly 

[Comment 8 Matt 2010-05-30 10:24:18 UTC]

since it's in the portage tree I suppose filing bugs against gmp 5.0.1 and dev-libs/ppl without patches would be fine ?

(afaik it's still masked so please don't beat XD)

an already known bug-report would be e.g. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50990&edit=1

thanks !

[Comment 9 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2010-05-30 19:58:22 UTC]

Please do, so we know what needs to be fixed before we unmask it.
