The problem is that lip.o references C++ mangled function
'log(double)', but it should be referencing 'extern "C"' function
'log'.
Here is an example showing the same problem:
$ cat t.c
double log(double); /* problem */
int main() { double d = log(100); return 0; }
When above code is compiled in "C" mode, it works:
$ gcc -fno-builtin t.c -lm
But when compiled as C++, it doesn't:
$ g++ -fno-builtin t.c -lm
/tmp/cc0o3mP7.o(.text+0x20): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `log(double)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
The problem is that 'double log(double);' is correct for C, but it
is *not* correct for C++. It should be:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
#endif
double log(double);
I am guessing that your 'lip.C' should actually be named 'lip.c',
and should be compiled with 'gcc' instead of 'g++'.
