Re: [Gcl-devel] GCL on Windows Server

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

First, to get going quickly, I recommend you install mingw's gmp-dev (or
maybe libgmp-dev) package.  GCL will happily use this library when
available and avoid trying to compile a copy on its own, which is where
your build is failing.

If you need to pursue the local gmp build, please also post
gmp4/gmp-impl.h.

Take care,
