 Headers and Libraries
 =====================
 
 All declarations needed to use GMP are collected in the include file
 `gmp.h'.  It is designed to work with both C and C++ compilers.
 
      #include <gmp.h>
 
    Note however that prototypes for GMP functions with `FILE *'
 parameters are only provided if `<stdio.h>' is included too.
 
      #include <stdio.h>
      #include <gmp.h>
 
    Likewise `<stdarg.h>' (or `<varargs.h>') is required for prototypes
 with `va_list' parameters, such as `gmp_vprintf'.  And `<obstack.h>'
 for prototypes with `struct obstack' parameters, such as
 `gmp_obstack_printf', when available.
 
    All programs using GMP must link against the `libgmp' library.  On a
 typical Unix-like system this can be done with `-lgmp', for example
 
      gcc myprogram.c -lgmp
 
    GMP C++ functions are in a separate `libgmpxx' library.  This is
 built and installed if C++ support has been enabled ( Build
 Options).  For example,
 
      g++ mycxxprog.cc -lgmpxx -lgmp
 
    GMP is built using Libtool and an application can use that to link
 if desired,  GNU Libtool (libtool)Top.
 
    If GMP has been installed to a non-standard location then it may be
 necessary to use `-I' and `-L' compiler options to point to the right
 directories, and some sort of run-time path for a shared library.
