How to link to the C math library with CMake?

by

Many mathematical functions (pow, sqrt, fabs, log etc.) are declared in math.h and require the library libm to be linked. Unlike libc, which is automatically linked, libm is a separate library and often requires explicit linkage. The linker presumes all libraries to begin with lib, so to link to libm you link to m.

You have to use it like target_link_libraries(ch4 m) to link libmto your target. The first argument must be a target. Thus it must be used after add_executable(ch4 ch4.c) like:

add_executable(ch4 ch4.c)
target_link_libraries(ch4 m)
