So I wrote a function to calculate the distance between two points (using Pythagorean theorem), but when I compile it tells me undefined reference to `sqrt'
c: | #include <math.h>
static unsigned int distanceBetween(unsigned int x,unsigned int y,unsigned int xx,unsigned int yy) {
double X = x;
double Y = y;
double XX = xx;
double YY = yy;
double result = 0;
result = pow( pow(X-XX, 2.0) + pow(Y-YY, 2.0) ,0.5);
return (int)result;
} |
I'm guessing that pow() seeing the power as 1/2 calls sqrt, but why wouldn't sqrt be defined? |

I can't really make heads or tails of what it's saying, but here's a link |

Oh thanks, seems I have to add -lm to the linker command if I want to use the math library.
Thanks |
