Compile Cilk plus in GCC5.2.0 - c

Question

Does anybody know how to compile the following code with Cilk plus in gcc5.2.0 correctly? With gcc -fcilkplus * or g++, I always get errors.
#include <cilk/cilk.h>
#include <assert.h>
int fib(int n) {
if (n < 2)
return n;
int a = cilk_spawn fib(n-1);
int b = fib(n-2);
cilk_sync;
return a + b;
}
int main() {
int result = fib(30);
assert(result == 832040);
return 0;
}
result:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

There are very few topics about this online. thanks

GCC is configured to add -lcilkrts by default to its linker command when -fcilkplus is given by users, but this default behavior can be overridden if there is any platform-specific configuration. I think that is happening on OS X, but it needs to be fixed in my opinion. Anyway, it seems that there is no short-term solution other than adding -lcilkrts as suggested above.
