Subject: Request for enhancement
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2018 08:30:17 -0400
To: bug-Math-GMP [...] rt.cpan.org
From: George Nassiopoulos <gnassiopoulos [...] cfa.harvard.edu>
Would it be possible for you to consider making the dependency on Alien::GMP (and Alien::Base) optional? Out of necessity we have the GMP library already installed in a non-standard location but Alien::GMP attempts a download and install. Thank you for your consideration. -- George E.

Please see the env vars at https://linux.die.net/man/1/gcc and maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pkg-config will help as well. Regards, Shlomi Show quoted text
