[lug] making so files

[TrentJarvi]

Just compile, link and install ;)

libtool --mode=compile gcc $CFLAGS -O2 -c file1.c -o file1.lo;
libtool --mode=compile gcc $CFLAGS -O2 -c file2.c -o file2.lo;
...

libtool --mode=link gcc $CFLAGS -O2 -version-info 1:0:0 -o libgd.la -rpath /usr/lib/ file1.lo file2.lo ...

libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  libgd.la /usr/lib/

This will create:

/usr/lib/libgd.a
/usr/lib/libgd.la
/usr/lib/libgd.so -> libgd.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1 -> libgd.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.0.0

$(CFLAGS) in a Makefile or $CFLAGS in script  are the options passed to gcc (-I -D ...) cut and paste from whatever was happening in the past.

Happy hacking.
