TL;DR Summary
Hello there, I got some questions while using the xmds solving package.
The package is this one:
http://www.xmds.org/
I would like to know if some of you have ever used it. Because I have had really simple questions for solving, but there is not a really wide number of users and I'm afraid I won't be able to solve my system... unless I knew how to implement some functions...
If you could share with me how to implement cmath functions because when I try to use ceil function, gamma function, etc, the code compiles but doesn't calculate anything... and I'm not sure what should I do...

While I've never used it, I did find this tutorial that may help:

You could try running the example provided to test your installation and then try comparing things the example did to your code paying attention to syntax used and why.

Thanks a lot .
Actually I have already checked all the tutorials. But among all that example codes, none of them uses the functions I menctioned. And I suppose there is a way to implement them, or use them from an standard c library because the code compiles... but doesn't calculate anything...
I used the first examples and I just tried to implement the functions but as soon as I add the function on any term... nothing happens haha.

I also tried looking for some advise on stackoverflow or something but almost nobody uses this package...
 
Is there a forum or user group for xmds usage on xmds.org?

http://www.xmds.org/faq.html

The FAQ mentions an emailing list where you can post your question:

You should also feel free to email questions to the XMDS users’ mailing list at xmds-users@lists.sourceforge.net, where the developers and other users can assist you. You can join the mailing list by going to http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmds/ and clicking on “mailing lists.” Also, if you look through the mailing list archives, your particular problem may already have been discussed.

I found these worked examples too:

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
