Install libgmp-dev.
The OpenSSL-based bignum implementation was removed, so gmp is now required (at least until we have a native bignum implementation).
Agree, that would remove some confusion.
A bit longer term I want to get rid of the general-purpose 'num' interface entirely, and use scalar/field specific implementations for everything, though.
how about on mac 10.10, I can't use brew install libgmp-dev. or brew install gmp.
yup, it works now. but I guess you might want to merge this to bitcoin main master branch in case it will work there for ./configure
Yes, I'll update the subtree in Bitcoin when most of the current in-flight pull requests are in.
