[Implemented] Linux Create Libraries

I would like to see the Linux compiler create libraries (.so)

That would make cross platform code much easier to create and sustain

So you can't create your one user-libs in linux 8O ? That realy sucks, or am I missing something...

Never worked with Linux though, and I'm not planning to do so either the first cupple of years, until that Longhorn-crap starts to show itself on the market

Yes you can create your own userlibraries, as in purelibraries.
But not .so (SharedObject) libs, as in .dll(DynamicLoadLib)..

And while I'm at it..Yes it would be great if we could get PB to create .so libs..
How hard can it be??

In C you just go:
gcc -fPIC -c somefile.c <- generates the objectfile
gcc -shared somelib.so somefile.o

And the "great" thing is that the objectfile you get out of this, you can use in a standard program as well.. Or a link lib.. or...
OK so maybe that's a bit simplified but...
