First, look at how it is done in Fortran :
http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lug/node124.html and
http://www.netlib.org/lapack/explore-ht ... solve.html.
After if you want to use C, use the LAPACKE library (inside LAPACK) and proceed to the necessary modifications.
LAPACKE can work with either column-major (Fortran) or row-major (C) matrices . See
