Need to port C dll to UNIX

I have source code of a Windows C DLL. It complies properly and works. Now I need to port it to UNIX environment.

I need to know if I can create a Dynamic Library or only Static Library is possible in UNIX.

In case I can create a Dynamic Library please guide me how to proceed. Or if there is any book available which I refer to.

Also is only Forte C the avialble C development environment in UNIX or is there any other user friendly environement avaiable.

Thanks in advance

Yes. (of course )

Take a look at...
http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/lupg/tutorials/libraries/unix-c-libraries.html
...on building and using shared libraries.

Also, try the "gcc" compiler...
http://gcc.gnu.org/

Enjoy

Thanks a lot for all the help.

I got all the info I needed. Willtrouble again if I get stuck !
