[Mingw-users] compiling and building GMP library
Me Myself and I
I need to compile and build GMP
from source code and have it working under mingw32.
I have the default install with msys and the developer's version
based on the installer
mingw-get-inst-20110530.exe
The ./configure for GMP tells the that the C preprocessor is failing
a sanity check.
Is there anyone who can help me update mingw32 so that this configure
finishes, or should I contact the GMP people?
I'm not certain if they could tell me anything about mingw32.

The gmp library usually builds without any fuss in the msys shell.
If you could attach the config.log (from the top level gmp source folder),
that might help us understand what has gone wrong.

Well .. it doesn't help *me* as much as I had hoped, but perhaps someone
else here has some ideas.
The telling difference occurs at 'configure:9244: gcc -std=gnu99 -E
conftest.c' where I get:
configure:9244: gcc -std=gnu99 -E conftest.c
configure:9244: $? = 0
(which means success) but you get:
configure:9244: gcc -std=gnu99 -E conftest.c
configure:9244: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "GNU MP"
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "gmp"
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "5.0.4"
| #define PACKAGE_STRING "GNU MP 5.0.4"

| /* end confdefs.h. */
| #ifdef __STDC__
| # include <limits.h>
| #else
| # include <assert.h>
| #endif
| Syntax error
(which means failure - and causes configure to perform some other
speculative commands which also fail - at which point it throws an error.)
Either there's something wrong with your C pre-processor, or there's some
problem in the generation of conftest.c
I suspect it's the latter, but I'm really not sure how best to proceed.
(That "Syntax error" is a bit weird.)
Anyone ?
The installer that I used was
mingw-get-inst-20110802.exe
whereas you used:
mingw-get-inst-20110530.exe
They both install the same msys shell, and the same version of gcc - but
it's possible that an explanation for the difference is to be found therein.

The "Syntax error" _is_ the clue, IMO. I think it actually says that
cpp is the cause of the problem. Can you tell which cpp.exe is being
picked up by GCC, and whether that cpp.exe is the correct one?
One way to explore this would be to copy the failed test program to a
file, and then run the same GCC command that the configure script used
to see what's going on. If it fails in the same way, add -v to the
GCC switches, and see what it does and where and why it fails.
In any case, like Rob, I had no difficulty building GMP with MSYS and
MinGW. None at all. No tricks are required, just a functional MinGW
installation.

Can that be determined by running 'which cpp.exe' ?
Or is it possible that 'gcc' and 'which' each pick up a different cpp.exe ?
Anyway, for me:
Rob@desktop2 /c/comp/gmp-5.0.4
$ which cpp.exe
/mingw/bin/cpp.exe
For that matter, it mightn't hurt to run 'which gcc.exe', though I see in
the config.log:
COLLECT_GCC=C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe
Presumably that indicates that /mingw/bin/gcc.exe is bring used.

Rob

Anything's possible. The way to know is to use the -v switch to GCC,
as I suggested in my message.
But first, I suggest that you try reproducing the same failure you see
in config.log, with the same test program, running GCC from the shell
prompt. That should tell you whether the problem is with cpp.exe or
with something that only rears its ugly head when the MSYS Bash runs
the configure script.

I see now that the "Syntax error" part is not a sign of anything: it
comes from the configure script itself, and is there for a good
reason (read the comments in the script if you want to know more).
So I can only repeat my previous suggestion: copy the above to a file
named conftest.c and run GCC from the shell prompt, exactly as the
script claims to have run it:
gcc -std=gnu99 -E conftest.c
Then look at the output and any error messages you get.
For your reference, when I try this here, I get this output:
# 1 "conftest.c"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command line>"
# 1 "conftest.c"
# 16 "conftest.c"
# 1 "D:/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../include/limits.h" 1 3
# 21 "D:/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../include/limits.h" 3
# 1 "D:/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../include/_mingw.h" 1 3
# 31 "D:/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../include/_mingw.h" 3
# 32 "D:/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../include/_mingw.h" 3
# 22 "D:/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../include/limits.h" 2 3
# 17 "conftest.c" 2
Syntax error
and the exit code is zero.
(Obviously, the "D:/usr/bin" part depends on where GCC is installed,
and will probably be different on your machine.)

I've just built GMP 5.0.4 under MinGW without any problems. I'm using GCC 4.5.2. I can upload the libraries onto SourceForge if required. FYI, you can find GMP 5.0.2 for MinGW here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmpmingw/
Cheers.

for a mingw32 binary version of GMP.
I have the following in my etc/profile file:
export PATH="/home/User/nano":$PATH;
export PATH="/home/User/":$PATH;
export PATH="/home/User/gmp-5.0.2":$PATH;
I need to get the following working:
GMP
MPFR
MPC
I am finding now that
"C preprocessor /lib/cpp is failing a sanity check." when I attempt to compile MPFR, with the aforementioned binary GMP.
Are there any mingw32 people who know what I need to do to my /lib/cpp to get it behaving better?

I doubt that /lib/cpp even exists. (It doesn't exist for me, afaik.)
The error message is misleading and appears, I think, only because the
*last* attempt that was made to run the preprocessor tried using the
'/lib/cpp' command (which fails).
Your problem is that the command 'gcc -E conftest.c' (found at
'configure:4520:') has failed.
It should succeed - something is broken.
I don't know how to fix your problem, but if you work thru the advice that
Eli provided earlier then you'll probably make good progress.
Or, if you're really lucky, someone who knows exactly what the problem is
might happen along.
Cheers,
Rob
Me Myself and I
I have installed mingw32 on 64 bit Windows 7 using
mingw-get-inst-20110530.exe
I have been referred to http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmpmingw/
for a mingw32 binary version of GMP.
I have the following in my etc/profile file:
export PATH="/home/User/nano":$PATH;
export PATH="/home/User/":$PATH;

I am finding now that
"C preprocessor /lib/cpp is failing a sanity check." when I attempt to compile MPFR, with the aforementioned binary GMP.
Are there any mingw32 people who know what I need to do to my /lib/cpp to get it behaving better?
The advice I have so far doesn't help, and I have also installed the default C++ which comes with the exe installer I have.
I'm about to try the cpp from source, but apart from that, is there anyone out there with advice to solve the problem?

I have built GMP 5.0.4 and MPFR 3.1.0 from source under MinGW with no problem at all. I'm really baffled about this problem! I can send you the libraries if you stuck!

There's no /lib/cpp in MinGW, so don't waste your time looking for it
or trying to build it. There even isn't a certainty at this point
that the problem you had trying to build GMP was due to the
preprocessor; it could well be something entirely different.
> The advice I have so far doesn't help
Did you try to compile the test program manually, like I suggested?
If you did, what were the results?
If you didn't, please do, as I'm quite sure this is the right way of
finding the root cause for your trouble.
Once again, here are the steps I suggest, with some more details this
time:
. Copy the offending test program to a file named conftest.c. For
your convenience, I attach the file's contents at the end of this
message.
. Open a Windows Command Prompt window (note: NOT the MSYS shell
window! the "normal" Command Prompt window with the default Windows
shell, cmd.exe.
. Go to the directory where you put conftest.c and type these
commands:
gcc -std=gnu99 -E conftest.c
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
. The second command must be typed immediately after the first.
. Copy/paste the output into a mail message and post the results
here.
Here's the test program again, just copy text between the two "----"
dividers and save to a file:
---------------------------------------------
/* confdefs.h */
#define PACKAGE_NAME "GNU MP"
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "gmp"
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "5.0.4"
#define PACKAGE_STRING "GNU MP 5.0.4"

#define HAVE_CALLING_CONVENTIONS 1
/* end confdefs.h. */
#ifdef __STDC__
# include <limits.h>
#else
# include <assert.h>
#endif
Syntax error
---------------------------------------------
Me Myself and I
Many thanks for the library files!
I have solved my previous problem, and have reinstalled
an operable version of mingw32.
The library files appear to be ok, however I find that my ./configure;
on my gcc source code (with gcc-java source inside it)
still fails with a similar stated error error, apparently halting with
the message that I don't have the correct version of gmp.h. Even though
my gmp.h directory is now referenced in $PATH.
I still get the message that I'm missing
GMP,MPFR,MPC libraries even though I'm not.
What is happening?

Do you have an antivirus software active? You need to tell it not to
do active checking of your build directory. It will cause configure
to fail when it should succeed since the configure script will not be
able to delete files that are open by the antivirus program.
