How to port dll's in Windows to Linux so's

[platso]

Hi all,

I have an application which will run in both windows as well as Linux.
I ported it long back and it is working well.

Now we need to extend the functionality ,so i have written .dll's for
Windows.These dll's have certain dependancies as well.And these are
sucessful in windows.

These dll's were built on Microsoft Visual Studio 2003.

Now I need to port them to Linux Operating System,so that i can extend the
current functionality just like dll's which i made for windows.


->Can any one how to do this porting?

Do i need to write '.so' files in linux from scratch?

Unfortunately, I don't have much experience in this area, but I did a google search for "port windows dll to linux" and one of the links returned was this one, that talks about using wine to link the dll's to Linux binaries or libraries. I don't know if that is an option for you, but it was worth providing you the link for your research.
