DLLs and SOs

Quick question:
Can I make valid .so files with MSVC 6.0? If so, how?
Thanks

Nope you can’t.

So, how do you make a .so file? I want to make my mod able to be used by more people.

You have to compile it in Linux. I can do it for you if you so wish it. To get in contact with me, email me at seph64@thephhortress.com or IM at SupaSeph64 (aim) or seph65@hotmail.com (MSN Messenger).

Of course if you want to do it yourself, just go grab a copy of Slackware 8.1 and install it on either a secondary partition, or on a second HDD. But this could be an inconveniance for you, which is why I offered to do it (compiling the source) for you.

You also might be able to convince cygwin to crosscompile to a linux .so

That also might be rather more work then sending your source to seph64 :moo:

Hey you might just wanna try vmware if you dont have room for another os @ home www.vmware.com i beleive, you can run linux inside a window within windows and compile the source theyre…vmware is good for cross plat dev (but if your gunna install linux i recommend gentoo)
