Compiling GDC on Windows -- where to get GMP and MPFR dependencies? - gmp

Question

I'm trying to compile GDC (v2) on Windows 7, using MinGW's MSYS.
When I get to this step:
$ ../configure --enable-languages=d --disable-shared --disable-bootstrap
I get:

configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.2+.
Try the --with-gmp and/or --with-mpfr options to specify their locations.
Copies of these libraries' source code can be found at their respective
hosting sites as well as at ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/.
See also http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html for additional info.
If you obtained GMP and/or MPFR from a vendor distribution package, make
sure that you have installed both the libraries and the header files.
They may be located in separate packages.
This made me look back at the instructions, which noted that it needs these libraries:
libgmp3-dev
libmpfr-dev
libmpc-dev
So now the question is, where do I find these headers and/or libraries? I've searched all over for libgmp3-dev, but I can't find anything for Windows. (I'm still in the learning process for *nix, so I'm not too familiar with anything.)
Thanks!
Update:
So I tried to make MPFR (I don't even know if it was the right version), and I got this error:
$ make install
Making install in tests

Any ideas?

From https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/wiki/MinGWCompile :
ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/gmp-5.0.1/gmp-5.0.1.tar.bz2
http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-current/mpfr-3.0.0.tar.bz2

Just download the source tarballs. As for building these, I don't remember the details (the instructions should be clear on this) but I know you can put these GMP and MPFR in the source tree with GCC and the GCC build process will automatically take care of building these. This may be easier than building/installing/setting environment variables for them as a discrete step.

I always use this for building gdc on Windows: http://gladman.plushost.co.uk/oldsite/computing/gmp4win.php

Answer 4

The error message you posted has the links to find the libraries. You might need to download their source code and compile them, but they are both easy to build.
