[gmx-users] how to compile and make a C analyzing code under GROMACS 5.0

[qiaobf]

Hi All,

One update: The first problem regarding the math library has been solved 
by changed:
> target_link_libraries(g_density2 ${GROMACS_LIBRARIES})
to
> target_link_libraries(g_density2 ${GROMACS_LIBRARIES}*m*)

However, the 2nd problem regarding displaying the INSTRUCTION text has 
not solved. Any one can help? Thanks a lot!
