deka provides decimal floating point arithmetic. It is based on mpdecimal, the C library used to provide support for the Decimal module in Python 3.

You will need to install mpdecimal to use deka; otherwise your executables will not link. It is available at

http://www.bytereef.org/mpdecimal/

mpdecimal has also been packaged for some Linux distributions, such as Debian (libmpdec-dev - available in Jessie and later) and Arch (mpdecimal).

mpdecimal, in turn, implements the General Decimal Arithmetic Specification, which is available at

http://speleotrove.com/decimal/

This package contains only tests, so that other packages may also use the tests.
