Would it be possible to add --enable-cxx to the gmp configure flags?
Sure, done.
Hello,
we had a look at the build script, and it seems that you are patching gmp
by renaming configfsf.guess to config.guess, overwriting the gmp file. Why
do you do that? The only reason I could think of is that you want to build
a binary that can be used on older machines. However, the best option for
that is to configure GMP with --enable-fat. If you have some other reason
not to use --enable-fat, we could discuss to try and find a better way.
Thanks again for adding gmp/mpfr/mpc to this service.
The reaction of the GMP maintainer to the build script:
it is important for a public test setup to follow documented build
instructions:
(1) Bogus test failures waste time for developers.
(2) If they tinker and break things, it reflects badly on the package
developers, while it should actually reflect badly on the
tinkerers...
(3) Most users are much more likely to follow documented build
procedures, and thus we would like to make those as resilient as
possible. (Making it resilient against mindless tinkering is
futile.)
