Thanks folks it works.
A few more questions on this behaviour.
I'm a Cygwin's newbie (3 days now) and I would like to know what was wrong.
I mean why
gcc -otest.exe file.c is OK
gcc -otest.exe file.c -lm is OK
gcc -lm -otest.exe file.c -lm is NOT OK

I am more surprised by the fact that
gcc -otest.exe file.c is OK because I am using math.h in file.c and I learnt
at school that when I use math.h I should put -lm in the compilation line

Regards

Jean-Luc
