(I've seen some makefiles using it, like > gcc lib.c -o lib.so -shared) Yes, something like the former. Just like libc.so, libqt.so, etc. You ´soft-link´ it in during compilation of your own program (with -l), and during runtime the library is loaded into the program automatically. As far as I can judge, dlopen() allows you to explitely load a file, which is great for plugins, but not for libraries your program depends upon. Anyway, this is getting off-topic. - Nemosoft ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Try SorceryNet!
