Question: dynamic libraries?

Question: dynamic libraries?

[Alejandro Arredondo]

Hello,

   I don't know if this is the right place to ask for
this question, but I would like to know how can I 
compile a dynamic library in Linux? or where can I get
information about dynamic libraries for Linux?

Thank You!

I have a very old paper:

http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/doc/elf.ps.gz

Some contents are out of date, like libc 5 vs glibc 2. But it may be
still useful to you.

Sorry if this isn't immediately useful, but a good introduction can be
found in the book:

"Application Programming for Linux"
(can't remember the Author, yellow in hard cover cover) 

I use the options to gcc:
CFLAGS = -g -O2 -shared -fPIC -Wl,-soname,$(SONAME)

where SONAME is the shared libary version number.
(Allows the dynamic linker to do it's thing, when multiple
versions of the library are found).
