Archive lib to Shared lib

[Mike Burk]

Can I "convert" an Archived library to a Shared library, ie xxx.a to xxx.sl? If so how.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

as far as I know, you need the source code. If you have the source, you can use the -b option on the linker (ld) to create a shared library instead of an archive.
