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.
3#
4# Once done this will define
5#
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.
