Thread: What was the library for math.h functions?

I tried "-lmath" but that didn't work out, tried looking for it via google but who'd of thought that even the official docs don't even mention it let alone every other link I tried be it a guide or something else

Thanks I now have lu compiled for usage with other projects of mine, I'll upload the changes later after work, prob 2mw morning

From man 3 pow (Just one of the functions available from the math library):

POW(3) Linux Programmer's Manual POW(3)

NAME
pow, powf, powl - power functions

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>

double pow(double x, double y);
float powf(float x, float y);
long double powl(long double x, long double y);

Link with -lm.

The man system is the programmers friend! ;^)
