# OpenLibm
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/JuliaLang/openlibm)
|
|
|
|
[OpenLibm](http://www.openlibm.org) is an effort to have a high quality, portable, standalone
|
|
C mathematical library ([`libm`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/libm)).
|
|
It can be used standalone in applications and programming language
|
|
implementations.
|
|
|
|
The project was born out of a need to have a good `libm` for the
|
|
[Julia programming langage](http://www.julialang.org) that worked
|
|
consistently across compilers and operating systems, and in 32-bit and
|
|
64-bit environments.
|
|
|
|
## Platform support
|
|
|
|
OpenLibm builds on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and DragonFly BSD.
|
|
It builds with both GCC and clang. Although largely tested and widely
|
|
used on x86 architectures, OpenLibm also supports ARM and
|
|
PowerPC.
|
|
|
|
## Build instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Use GNU Make to build OpenLibm. This is `make` on most systems, but `gmake` on BSDs.
|
|
2. Use `make USEGCC=1` to build with GCC. This is the default on
|
|
Linux and Windows.
|
|
3. Use `make USECLANG=1` to build with clang. This is the default on OS X, FreeBSD,
|
|
and OpenBSD.
|
|
4. Architectures are auto-detected. Use `make ARCH=i386` to force a
|
|
build for i386. Other supported architectures are i486, i586, and
|
|
i686. GCC 4.8 is the minimum requirement for correct codegen on
|
|
older 32-bit architectures.
