Does this question have anything at all to do with the X Window System

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to build a shared library
from source? That requires that you pass -fPIC to all the source files
you're compiling, and -shared for the final object. Like so:

gcc -fPIC -c file1.c
gcc -fPIC -c file2.c
gcc -shared -o libfoo.so.1.2.3 file2.o file1.o

....put something like that into your Makefile. If you meant something
else, you need to describe it fully. There are Windows concepts that
don't translate at all into what you do on Linux. I think you may want
to read the man page for dlopen, though, if you're going to ask ld.so to
do something like load a .so that isn't in a directory described in
/etc/ld.so.conf . (Don't do that if you can avoid it.) HTH,
