When building on Ubuntu 12.x the build fails with the following error…
gcc samples/generate/main.o -lm -Llib -lnmea -o build/samples_generate lib/libnmea.a(generate.o): In function `nmea_gsv_npack': generate.c:(.text+0x700): undefined reference to `ceil' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [samples_generate] Error 1
This forum posting shows that the problem is a fairly widespread consequence of a change to the build tools on Ubuntu
A resolution on Ubuntu is to edit the makefile, replacing
LIBS = -lm -Llib -lnmea with
LIBS = -Llib -lnmea -lm At line 14.
