Compilation fails (conflicting types) if mpfr-devel 4.2.0 is provided

[fpesari]

Hello,

I tried compiling sleef 3.5.1 with mpfr 4.2.0 support on openSUSE but it failed with a bunch of conflicting type errors:

[   97s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/sleef-3.5.1/src/libm-tester/testerutil.h:93:6: error: conflicting types for 'mpfr_sinpi'; have 'void(__mpfr_struct *, __mpfr_struct *, mpfr_rnd_t)'
[   97s]    93 | void mpfr_sinpi(mpfr_t ret, mpfr_t arg, mpfr_rnd_t rnd);
[   97s]       |      ^~~~~~~~~~

If mpfr is not provided, however, sleef will be compiled successfully. Can I safely package sleef without mpfr support? Thank you.

Using -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF allowed me to avoid CMake finding my system-installed MPFR 4.2.0 and compiling successfully.

@adamjstewart Is this still an issue? Detection of mpfr often requires tweaking depending on the OS, we will try to improve it in the future.
@fpesari sorry we did not answer the question, sleef can be packaged without MPFR, as it is only required for testing as suggested by @adamjstewart.

It looks like it was fixed by #471. Will backport this if I need to build older versions for PyTorch.
