-Subject: [PATCH] Link against libm when needed
-
-In certain C libraries (e.g uClibc), isnan() and related functions are
-implemented in libm, so json-c needs to link against it. This commit
-therefore adds an AC_TRY_LINK() test to check whether a program
-calling isnan() can be properly linked with no special flags. If not,
-we assume linking against libm is needed.
-
-The json-c.pc.in file is also adjusted so that in the case of static
-linking against json-c, -lm is also used.
