Hello,
I would like to use D with GMP on Windows XP, but I don't know what exactly to
do:
- Where can I get a pre-build GMP library for Windows/D?
- How to install?
- How to link to D?

Thanks a lot,
Willi

Google for gmp.dll or something like that. Last I checked there were build instructions for using gmp on win32 but I can't remember if anyone had prebuilt dlls.

Drop the gmp.dll on your library search path - like in the same directory as the executable trying to use it.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by link - do you mean "use from" or do you really mean "link to the object files generated by D"? For the "use from" answer see http://home.comcast.net/~benhinkle/gmp-d/. For the "link files" supply the library on the command-line to dmd and it will link it in.

Hi Ben,
thanks for the quick answer and sorry to bother you..
I had already downloaded a file "libgmp.dll" and put it in ..\bin\ directory.
I tried to compile/link e.g. pidigits.d:
"dmd pidigits mpz.d libgmp.dll" and got "Error: unrecognized file extension
dll"...

You need the .lib file as well as the .dll. Put the lib in the dmd command instead of the dll. The dll is only needed at run-time not at compile-time.
