<p>GMP has an autoconf/automake/libtool based configuration system. On a
Unix-like system a basic build can be done with
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">./configure
make
</pre></div>
<p>Some self-tests can be run with
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">make check
</pre></div>
<p>And you can install (under <samp>/usr/local</samp> by default) with
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">make install
</pre></div>
