I've been working on an engine as described in the "Modular 3D Engines"
post for a couple of weeks now, and I was wondering what if I wanted to
port this engine to Linux. Linux doesn't have dll support (not that I know of). How does Unreal Tournement get around this? |

Linux has 'shared libraries' which are essentially the same as DLLs. As
an example, look in your /lib directory. The files with the extension
*.a are 'static libraries' (like LIB files.) The *.so files are the
'shared libraries' (like DLL files). Just do a 'man dlopen' to see how this stuff works under Linux. Response provided by Paul Nettle |
