This directory contains additional files necessary to create cddmathlink2. It does not follow the autoconfig structure and the user must edit Makefile so that it conforms to the local Mathematica installation. In particular, Mathematica MathLink executables and library files (distributed as Mathematica AddOn package, MathLink/DeveloperKit) must be installed properly. Namely, the executables mcc and mprep are typically installed in /usr/local/bin, the library libML.a in /usr/local/lib, and the header file mathlink.h in /usr/local/include. Once a correct Makefile is created, just type "make all" or "make ml". Before cddmathlink2 compilation, one must compile the cddlib libraries (libcdd.a and libcddgmp.a) which are supposed to be in the lib-src and lib-src-gmp directories. cddmathlink2 is a new version of cddmathlink which supports rational exact arithmetic with GMP. I tested this only with Mathematica 4.1 on MacOS X. It should not be difficult in principle to build it on other Unix/Linux platforms. On Windows, I do not know how the GMP library can be included in a project of a mathlink-supported environment such as Borland C/C++ and Metroworks' CordWarrior. This seems to be the only potential problem.
