How I compile multiprecision.org MPC code?

Question

I am trying to use the MPC library from www.multiprecision.org. I want to compile the C++ code with g++ under Linux, with GMP and MPFR both installed. The point is I don't know what compiler flags I should use.

Answer 1

you need to link with libmpc:

gcc foo.c -o foo -lmpc

I test it with mpc from ubuntu packages:

sudo aptitude install libmpc-dev libmpc2

my foo.c looks like:

#include "mpc.h"

int main() {
    mpc_t x;
    mpc_init2 (x, 256);
    return 0;
}
