TL;DR
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:
