How do you make shared objects?

[Daniel Carrera]

Hello,

I've been looking all over the libtool manual and I can't find any 
references to how to make .so libraries.  All I can find are the static .a 
libraries.

I am running Solaris 2.8 (SPARC) with GNU tools, including GNU make and 
GNU ld.

Could someone please help me out?

Ultimately what I want is to compile a zlib.so file (which I need to 
compile glib (which I need to compile gtk (which I need to compile Gimp)))

Thank you for your help.
