You need to store values into aa and bb, perhaps using mpz_set_str,
this code probably prints "0".

You'll need mpn/mp_bases.c too, but it should work.

DOS/Windows, cygwin and djgpp are recommended.

There's a small gmp mailing list, see http://www.swox.com/gmp/ under
"Discussing GMP".  The question of gmp for msvc came up just recently.
