-== openlibm ==
-Over the years Octave faced many issues (see [[openlibm | the openlibm page in this wiki]] for examples) about different [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_mathematical_functions#libm C mathematical functions library] (in short: "libm") implementations on various systems.  To overcome similar issues, developers of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_(programming_language) Julia Programming Language] started the [https://openlibm.org/ openlibm] project "to have a good libm [ ...] that work[s] consistently across compilers and operating systems, and in 32-bit and 64-bit environments".  openlibm is supported by major Linux distributions (e.g. [https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libopenlibm-dev Debian/Ubuntu], [https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openlibm RHEL/Fedora],[https://software.opensuse.org/package/openlibm SLES/openSUSE], ...) and the [https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/rev/480f60641fc2 MS Windows MXE package] was added as well.
-This project consists of learning about the usage of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Autotools GNU Autotools] in Octave and ways to detect openlibm.  As the next step the Octave code base has to be reviewed under the guidance of a mentor and relevant code changes should be performed.  Finally, relevant code changes in the [[Tests | Octave test suite]] are performed and tested on various Linux, MS Windows, and macOS machines with the help of the Octave community.
