OK, well we should keep that in mind, though as long as GMP supports the target architecture, and we arrange guile to handle a --with-gmp=/some/prefix argument, I'm not sure that keeping a copy of GMP's source tree inside ours buys much over just making sure the GMP tarfile is handy, and that we have good docs about any required configure args, etc. This is all presuming we were in a situation where you had to have GMP, i.e we didn't take the route allowing --without-gmp, or similar. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
