[PPL-devel] Build PPL under cygwin fails

[Matthias Hofmann]

Hi,

due to configure, the PPL build fails under cygwin with the following
error message:

checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe
checking if the linker (/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe) is GNU ld... yes
checking for shared library run path origin... done
checking how to link with libgmp... /usr/gmp/lib/libgmp.a
checking how to link with libgmpxx... /usr/gmp/lib/libgmpxx.a
/usr/gmp/lib/libgm
p.a
checking for the GMP library version 4.1.3 or above... no
configure: error: Cannot find GMP version 4.1.3 or higher.
GMP is the GNU Multi-Precision library:
see http://www.swox.com/gmp/ for more information.
When compiling the GMP library, do not forget to enable the C++ interface:
add --enable-cxx to the configuration options.

I have build and installed gmp-5.0.1 into the directory /usr/gmp
previously and compiled it with --enable-cxx.

Any solutions or ideas?

Thank you,

Matthias
