     That's the symptom of missing the math library on the linker
command
     line.  You'd need to add '-lm' to the linker line, if that's
what
     you're
     asking about.

Sure but somthing changed recently in the cmake files and broke it,
as it has worked before.
I'm trying a fix in the cmake file in epan.

You could try using PUBLIC with M_LIBRARIES.

https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/29208/16/epan/CMakeLists.txt

Is this your own custom build or not?

I see now that you said proprietary plugin in the subject. Just add
M_LIBRARIES to your build?

If indeed that is the problem (very likely) the decision to make these libraries PRIVATE was intentional because the only external linkage requirement that I saw was glib.

Yes this was the problem as I suspected yesterday, it just took a while to verify as I had to delete the build directory to have the cmake changes take effect. Another question

It's not a bug in Wireshark, it's a bug in your build, IMO.

Is this bug https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15084 also related to the cmake changes?

I'll look into it.
