How To Install softfloat-devel on Fedora 36
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install softfloat-devel on Fedora 36.
What is softfloat-devel
Berkeley SoftFloat is a software implementation of binary floating-point that conforms to the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic. The current release supports five binary formats single-precision, 64-bit double-precision, 80-bit double-extended- precision, and 128-bit quadruple-precision. The softfloat-devel package contains libraries and header files for developing applications that use softfloat.
We can use yum or dnf to install softfloat-devel on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install softfloat-devel.
