 <p>GMP should be made with C++ features support.</p>
 
-<p>GMP and MPFR come with GNU Automake files and documentation on installation on GNU system. If you are using Microsoft Windows, you could try <a href="http://fp.gladman.plus.com/computing/gmp4win.htm">GMP and MPFR port for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005</a> by Brian Gladman.</p>
-
-<p>To use MPFRCPP you need to place sources in the <kbd>mpfrcpp</kbd> and <kbd>nacre</kbd> subdirectories of some root directory of compiler include path (<kbd>/usr/include/</kbd> or <kbd>/usr/local/include/</kbd>).</p>

-<p>The only one file you need to embed in static library is <kbd>mpfrcpp/initialization.cpp</kbd>. However it is optional and you could drop it if you want to drop pre-defined MPFRCPP global objects.</p>

+to some root directory of the compiler's include path
+(<kbd>/usr/include/</kbd> or <kbd>/usr/local/include/</kbd>).
+You can control the location by setting the PREF variable in the makefile.
