Hey there
I would be obliged if anyone could solve my problem
I have compiled 'myprogram.c' without errors by using 'gcc -c myprogram.c'
Well, when i am trying to link the object code to the executable by using gcc -o myprogram myprogram.o i get the following error:
myprogram.o(.text+0x6f3): In function `fuction1':
: undefined reference to `pow'
The fact is that i have tried to make another program without including <math.h>
and using pow().And finally It worked.
By the way, I am using Slackware Linux(BackTrack) if that matters.
When you link a program using gcc, you specify what libraries to link into your target using the -l switch. gcc will look in common directories for libraries. If you say "-lm" gcc will search for "libm.so" or "libm.a" (depending on other options). libm is the math library, where pow() is defined.
