Note: -lmx is required for C99 float functions such as sqrtf, in math.h

When I try the same in Xcode (with -lmx specified in Other C Flags), I get an error:
gcc-3.3: -lmx: linker input file unused because linking not done
ld: Undefined symbols: _sqrtf


How can I persuade Xcode that sqrtf exists?

Other C Flags is used for compiling, but -lmx is a linker flag. Other Linker Flags is used for linking. Set that and this'll work.


A more Xcode-like way to do this is to add /usr/lib/libmx.dylib to your project: Project->Add To Project, type '/' to get a Go To dialog, go to /usr/lib, select libmx.dylib, and then build.

Thank you for the clear explanation.

In XCode I selected a new project of type "Carbon Application". I replaced the standard main() with yours and it compiled, linked and ran fine.

Interesting. That works because a Carbon Application is preset to link to libstdc++.a (which presumably includes libmx). I chose to make my test with a Standard Tool, which is not set up in that way. My choice, combined with misunderstanding -lmx, excluded the C99 functions that I wanted to investigate :-(
