Re: OT: sqrt() not recognized in c program??
I just checked (and hope to be corrected) but I couldn't find _ANY_
reference to requiring the -lm option to enable math functions.
I, like many others, was aware of this requirement but IMHO the
documentation may be deficient in this respect.
I would like to know if anyone can find the reference as it seems
not to be in the places I would look myself or expect a beginner
to look.
