<a name="index-gmp_002eh"></a>
<a name="index-Include-files"></a>
<a name="index-_0023include"></a>
<p>All declarations needed to use GMP are collected in the include file
<samp>gmp.h</samp>. It is designed to work with both C and C++ compilers.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">#include &lt;gmp.h&gt;
</pre></div>
<a name="index-stdio_002eh"></a>
<p>Note however that prototypes for GMP functions with <code>FILE *</code> parameters
are only provided if <code>&lt;stdio.h&gt;</code> is included too.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;gmp.h&gt;
</pre></div>
<a name="index-stdarg_002eh"></a>
<p>Likewise <code>&lt;stdarg.h&gt;</code> is required for prototypes with <code>va_list</code>
parameters, such as <code>gmp_vprintf</code>. And <code>&lt;obstack.h&gt;</code> for prototypes
with <code>struct obstack</code> parameters, such as <code>gmp_obstack_printf</code>, when
available.
</p>
<a name="index-Libraries"></a>
<a name="index-Linking"></a>
<a name="index-libgmp"></a>
<p>All programs using GMP must link against the <samp>libgmp</samp> library. On a
typical Unix-like system this can be done with &lsquo;<samp>-lgmp</samp>&rsquo;, for example
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">gcc myprogram.c -lgmp
</pre></div>
<a name="index-libgmpxx"></a>
<p>GMP C++ functions are in a separate <samp>libgmpxx</samp> library. This is built
and installed if C++ support has been enabled (see <a href="Build-Options.html#Build-Options">Build Options</a>). For
example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">g++ mycxxprog.cc -lgmpxx -lgmp
</pre></div>
<a name="index-Libtool"></a>
<p>GMP is built using Libtool and an application can use that to link if desired,
see <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/index.html#Top">GNU Libtool</a> in <cite>GNU Libtool</cite>.
</p>
<p>If GMP has been installed to a non-standard location then it may be necessary
to use &lsquo;<samp>-I</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>-L</samp>&rsquo; compiler options to point to the right
directories, and some sort of run-time path for a shared library.
