Place it at the end. > Thanks folks it works. A few more questions on this behaviour. I'm a Cygwin's newbie (3 days now) and I would like to know what was wrong. I mean why gcc -otest.exe file.c is OK gcc -otest.exe file.c -lm is OK gcc -lm -otest.exe file.c -lm is NOT OK I am more surprised by the fact that gcc -otest.exe file.c is OK because I am using math.h in file.c and I learnt at school that when I use math.h I should put -lm in the compilation line Regards Jean-Luc --- Latyr Jean-Luc FAYE http://faye.cjb.net -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
