1 # - Try to find how to link to the standard math library, if anything at all is needed to do.
2 # On most platforms this is automatic, but for example it's not automatic on QNX.
4 # Once done this will define
6 # STANDARD_MATH_LIBRARY_FOUND - we found how to successfully link to the standard math library
7 # STANDARD_MATH_LIBRARY - the name of the standard library that one has to link to.
8 # -- this will be left empty if it's automatic (most platforms).
9 # -- this will be set to "m" on platforms where one must explicitly
10 # pass the "-lm" linker flag.
