I've created a branch of sks for eliminating numerix and replacing it
with the ocaml-native bigint package. bigint is implemented in pure
ocaml, and while it's less efficient on x86 then Numerix, it's a hell
of a lot more portable.
Anyway, the branch is called sks-bignum--mainline--1.0, and the
archive is can be found here:
http://minsky-primus.homeip.net/archives/2004/
It's a signed archive, so you can use gpg to verify the repository if
you choose.
Tla is pretty easy to install on your favorite *nix. Here's where you
can get it:
http://www.gnuarch.org/arch-download.html
The build process is fairly straightforward. Get version 1.2. Once
you have it built and installed, you can do the following (obviously
with a different user-id) to get the latest version of sks-bigint.
tla my-id "Test Ing User <address@hidden>"
tla register-archive "http://minsky-primus.homeip.net/archives/2004"
tla my-default-archive address@hidden
tla get sks-bigint--mainline--1.0
You can make local modifications, and type "tla update" to get
up-to-date with the mainline. You can also fork your own version on
which you can make changes which I can then merge in, but that takes a
little bit more setup...
