The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with correct rounding.
Apply a patch with upstream fixes:
patch -Np1 -i ../mpfr-3.1.5-fixes-1.patch
Prepare MPFR for compilation:
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/cross-tools/lib" \ ./configure \ --prefix=/cross-tools \ --disable-static \ --with-gmp=/cross-tools
The meaning of the new configure options:
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/cross-tools/lib"
This tells configure to search in
/cross-tools
for libraries.
--with-gmp=/cross-tools
This tells configure where to find GMP.
Compile the package:
make
Install the package:
make install
