Object files and libraries are searched from left-to-right so the sin() function is not picked up when -lm appears first. In C, the math library is separate from the main standard library for historical reasons. In C++ you don't need a separate -lm so the g++ command works on its own. -- Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd, Publishing "An Introduction to GCC" --- http://network-theory.co.uk/gcc/intro/
