if your program uses math.h header file then sometimes the compilation will lead to errors.In such cases you have to suffix -lm to the compilation file command
Usage
cc filename.c -lm
lm means link mathematical header file.Note that this step is not always required use it only if your program is correct and compilation is leading to errors.
and all other procedures are same.
ex:
consider the following program
#include
#include
main()
{
float num,sq;
printf("Enter the number\n");
scanf("%f",&num);
sq=sqrt(num);
printf("Sqrt=%f",sq);
}
suppose the name of this c file is adi.c
then sometimes compilation of this file will lead to an error like this
bash-2.05b$ cc adi.c
/tmp/cck2Ps76.o(.text+0x42): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `sqrt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
In such case compile like this
bash-2.05b$ cc adi.c -lm
