It seems the pre-compiled mpfr library binary by VC++2010 works for both VC++2008 and VC++2010 compliers; the precompiled mpfr library binaries can be found here( link from the original author is now dead; please use this link instead): mpfr_mpir_x86_x64_msvc2010.zip

(it seems the original author's website now works again: please visit here: Brian Gladman's guidelines on MPIR & MPFR installation for more detailed information.)

The configuration details of VC++ compliers are similar to those for mpir library as in this link: How to Install and Run GMP on Windows Using MPIR

Windows users are highly recommended to take a look at Pavel's website here: Pavel Holoborodko who is the author of the C++ wrapper: mpfrc++-3.5.6.zip
