I’m attempting to build GnuTLS on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Server (yeah, I know, it’s a bit dated, but that’s what this server is running at the moment) and am running into an issue building Nettle: I’ve built & installed GMP, but Nettle’s configure cannot find it.
I built & installed GMP 5.0.2 as follows (the GCC version solution is from here):
curl -O ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/gmp-5.0.2/gmp-5.0.2.tar.bz2
tar xjf gmp-5.0.2.tar.bz2
pushd gmp-5.0.2
CC=gcc-4.2 CXX=g++4.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
popd
A make check passes all tests and I end up with the following GMP files installed:
/usr/local/include/gmp.h
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.10.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.a
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.la
/usr/local/share/info/gmp.info
/usr/local/share/info/gmp.info-1
/usr/local/share/info/gmp.info-2
However, when I attempt to build Nettle 2.4, as follows:
curl -O http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-2.4.tar.gz
tar xzf nettle-2.4.tar.gz
pushd nettle-2.4
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
popd
It builds & installs successfully, but it doesn’t build libhogweed because GMP is missing. Upon further inspection, I’ve found the following warnings in the configure output:
checking for __gmpz_getlimbn in -lgmp... no
configure: WARNING: GNU MP not found, or not 3.1 or up, see http://gmplib.org/.
Support for public key algorithms will be unavailable.
checking for __gmpz_powm_sec... no
Obviously, GMP 5.0.2 is newer than 3.1, plus both ‘__gmpz_getlimbn’ & ‘__gmpz_powm_sec’ are defined in /usr/local/include/gmp.h, so everything about my GMP install seems correct.
I’ve tried all sorts of configure options (esp. looking for some type of ‘–with-gmp’ option) to no avail. I have also tried using the same version of GCC (CC=gcc-4.2 CXX=g++4.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local) as I did to compile GMP, with no change in result. --includedir & --libdir should be set to $PREFIX/include & $PREFIX/lib, respectively, (esp. since I’m not specifying an --exec-prefix) so I can’t figure out why it wouldn’t be able to find GMP.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Update:
I found the following in config.log explaining the failure to find GMP:

Running file /usr/local/lib/libgmp.dylib returns the following:
/usr/local/lib/libgmp.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
This server is running an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, so that 64-bit Mach library looks correct to me. I don’t know how to tell whether nettle is trying to built for 32-bit or 64-bit architecture, so I tried CC=gcc-4.2 CXX=g++4.2 ABI=64 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local with no change (also, even when specifying ABI=32 Nettle’s configure always says “ABI: standard”… does it not pass ABI through?).
Would re-compiling GMP as a static library make any difference? (Nope, GMP builds both static & dynamic libraries, by default. I listed both above when showing all the installed files.)
It turns out, there’s a bug in
config.guessincluded with Nettle 2.4 which does not detect the correct 32-bit/64-bit type under Mac OS X, so it was defaulting to 32-bit and couldn’t find symbols in the GMP library (which was compiled as a 64-bit library). As the Nettle developer noted here, you can just download the latestconfig.guessand or disable assembler.The newer
config.guessdidn’t work for me, so I forced it into 64-bit mode and disabled assembler. The final working build instructions for Libnettle (and libhogweed; not including the GMP dependancy) are:
