installing packets

[CrimsonAngel]

Ok so im not exactly new to programing in c++ but i have never installed any of the extra packets independent developers have made, such as gmp and flint (im using windows, and Dev-C++ by bloodshed).

I was just wondering if some one could give me a quick how to on installing them (and others, general stuff) so i can use them xD.

The developers website weren't very specific and they lost me when it came to installation.

thanks, Crim

Generally you put the headers either somewhere in the system include path (or else
add a user-specified path to your build) and you put the libraries somewhere in
in the system library path (or else add a user-specified path to your build).

On Un*x, put includes in a subdirectory in /usr/include and libraries in /usr/lib, for
example.
