Hi When we build MPIR at the moment , on most systems you can choose between a shared(dll) library or a static library or you can build both. After you have built the library you (hopefully?) run make check to test it. If you you build a shared library then make check tests a shared library and similarly for a static library. If you build both however then make check will ONLY test the shared library. For some systems mainly x86 32 and 64bit the code for shared and static can be different , so I have updated make check to test both shared and static for the affected functions. However this will not pick compiler bugs for static code , to do this we need to check every function. This will of course double the running time of make check on a combined shared and static build. Is this wanted? and is the time penalty acceptable?
Note ./configure && make will by default build both static and shared librarys , you have to tell configure not to build them eg --disable-shared Some systems are different and will NOT (or cannot) build both by default eg cygwin,mingw,MSVC Jason --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
