    gcc and math.h

    i wrote a program that is supposed to print the sin, cos and sqrt of some float. i include math.h. but when i try to compile i get
    Code:
    tmp/cc2oPQ8z.o(.text+0x1ad): In function `main':
    : undefined reference to `cos'
    /tmp/cc2oPQ8z.o(.text+0x1e3): In function `main':
    : undefined reference to `sin'
    /tmp/cc2oPQ8z.o(.text+0x21c): In function `main':
    : undefined reference to `sqrt'
    /tmp/cc2oPQ8z.o(.text+0x231): In function
    why doesnt it find those functions?

    Maybe?
    gcc -Wall -lm filename.c

    Maybe not.
    Code:
    gcc -Wall filename.c -lm
    There, that's better.
