Base must be binary

[CaptainLazarus]

After following all the instruction for installing miracl , I tried running the first sample program for testing and have gotten the following error.
MIRACL error from routine mirsys called from your program Base must be binary (MR_ALWAYS_BINARY defined in mirdef.h ?)

Any idea where I went wrong?

The sample program I'm talking about

#include <stdio.h>
#include "miracl.h"
/* include MIRACL system */

void main()
{ /* calculate factorial of number */
    big nf;
    /* declare "big" variable nf */
    int n;
    miracl *mip=mirsys(5000,10);

    // nf=mirvar(1);

    printf("factorial program\n");
    printf("input number n= \n");
    scanf("%d",&n);
    getchar();
    
    while (n>1)
        premult(nf,n--,nf);

    printf("n!= \n");
    otnum(nf,stdout); /* output result */

}

Hello, It works fine here... It is most likely, as the error message suggests) that your mirder.h file has been modified Mike

I followed the instructions given by config.c and changed the generated mirdef.lst to mirdef.h. After that I didn't change anything. Any solutions?

Ah, OK so you did change mirdef.h That is the cause of the problem. Copy mirdef.h64 to mirdef.h and try again Mike

After you copy mirdef.h64 to mirdef.h, don't forget to rebuild the library. Mike On Fri, May 22, 2020 at 12:55 PM Michael Scott <mike.scott@miracl.com> wrote:
