How to solve GMP C++ Installation, can not find ../libgmp.la problem on MAC OS X

I have downloaded GMP 6.2.1 from the link supplied from the website to my macos Big Sur, unzipped it. I runned the configure script and

make check 
make install

then realized I should have added --enable-cxx to ./configure --enable-cxx. I did that and rerun make check. Error I've got is

libtool: warning: '-no-install' is ignored for broadwell-apple-darwin20.5.0
libtool: warning: assuming '-no-fast-install' instead
libtool:   error: cannot find the library '../libgmp.la' or unhandled argument' ../libgmp.la'

How can I solve this?

Solution

  • I followed the instructions from https://gmplib.org/manual/Installing-GMP correctly the first time but the second time I didn't run make before make check. Following the manual exactly solved my problem.
