Windows: libmpdec/libmpdec++ install instructions

Package information

Common instructions

All instructions build libmpdec and libmpdec++. Since Windows now has BSD tar, mpdecimal-2.5.1.tar.gz is preferred. The instructions assume that mpdecimal-2.5.1 is the current working directory.


tar xvf mpdecimal-2.5.1.tar.gz
cd mpdecimal-2.5.1
