[c] Undefined reference to `pow' and `floor'

I'm trying to make a simple fibonacci calculator in C but when compiling gcc tells me that I'm missing the pow and floor functions. What's wrong?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int fibo(int n);

int main() {
        printf("Fib(4) = %d", fibo(4));
        return 0;
}

int fibo(int n) {
        double phi = 1.61803399;

        return (int)(floor((float)(pow(phi, n) / sqrt(5)) + .5f));
}

Output:

gab@testvm:~/work/c/fibo$ gcc fib.c -o fibo
/tmp/ccNSjm4q.o: In function `fibo':
fib.c:(.text+0x4a): undefined reference to `pow'
fib.c:(.text+0x68): undefined reference to `floor'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

To find the point where to add the -lm in Eclipse-IDE is really horrible, so it took me some time.

If someone else also uses Edlipse, here's the way how to add the command:

Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> GCC C Linker -> Miscelleaneous -> Linker flags: in this field add the command -lm

For the benefit of anyone reading this later, you need to link against it as Fred said:

gcc fib.c -lm -o fibo

One good way to find out what library you need to link is by checking the man page if one exists. For example, man pow and man floor will both tell you:

Link with -lm.

An explanation for linking math library in C programming - Linking in C

Add -lm to your link options, since pow() and floor() are part of the math library:

gcc fib.c -o fibo -lm

In regards to the answer provided by Fuzzy:

I actually had to do something slightly different.

Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> GCC C Linker -> Libraries

Click the little green add icon, type m and hit ok. Everything in this window automatically has -l applied to it since it is a library.

All answers above are incomplete, the problem here lies in linker ld rather than compiler collect2: ld returned 1 exit status. When you are compiling your fib.c to object:

$ gcc -c fib.c
$ nm fib.o
0000000000000028 T fibo
                 U floor
                 U _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
0000000000000000 T main
                 U pow
                 U printf

Where nm lists symbols from object file. You can see that this was compiled without an error, but pow, floor, and printf functions have undefined references, now if I will try to link this to executable:

$ gcc fib.o
fib.o: In function `fibo':
fib.c:(.text+0x57): undefined reference to `pow'
fib.c:(.text+0x84): undefined reference to `floor'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Im getting similar output you get. To solve that, I need to tell linker where to look for references to pow, and floor, for this purpose I will use linker -l flag with m which comes from libm.so library.

$ gcc fib.o -lm

You can now see, functions pow, floor are linked to GLIBC_2.2.5.

Parameters order is important too, unless your system is configured to use shared librares by default, my system is not, so when I issue:

$ gcc -lm fib.o
fib.o: In function `fibo':
fib.c:(.text+0x57): undefined reference to `pow'
fib.c:(.text+0x84): undefined reference to `floor'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Note -lm flag before object file. So in conclusion, add -lm flag after all other flags, and parameters, to be sure.
