For lastest releases, please check out this website; older releases can be found on that website. Then, you can install doing:

> tar -zxvf givaro-*.tar.gz
> cd givaro-*
> ./configure --prefix=##GIVAROROOT#
> make install

Configuration can be adapted. Check configure --help to print the parameter choices.

In particular if GMP is not installed to the default location you might need to add for instance --with-gmp=##GMPROOT#/gmp-x-y-z to the configure line.

Also, on non-Linux systems you might need to use gmake instead of make.

An optional compilation help file is provided: just add the following line to your Makefile. Then a simple call will compile your C and C++ files.

include ##GIVAROROOT##/bin/givaro-makefile

However, if you want to do it without this tool, you should add -I##GIVAROROOT##/include to the CXX compilation flags, and -L##GIVAROROOT##/lib -lgivaro to the LD link flags, along those for GMP.
