Bignum libraries for windows?

Question

Are there any bignum libraries that are good for Windows use? I looked at GMP, but unfortunately it does not look like it can be compiled on Windows...I'm going to be doing some custom RSA and hashing routines, and I need something that can handle extremely large integers.

Thanks.

Answer 1

http://www.openssl.org/ is stable and time proven library. It also includes well separable bignum libray

Answer 2

People provide pre-compiled binaries for gmp on Windows; there are also instructions for compiling it yourself. Another option would be the bignum library of OpenSSL.

Answer 3

Also have a look at MAPM, A Portable Arbitrary Precision Math Library in C. It also contains C++ wrappers.

Answer 4

Another option is MPIR. MPIR is a fork of GMP that specifically support compilation on Windows.
