You're compiler is correct, there are two ways around this, the first is 
assignment from a string, which must be an explicit cast or construction:

cpp_int 
large{"30414093201713378043612608166064768844377641568960512000000000000"};

Or you can create extended precision literals, but these must be in hex 
format, see
