How to link in shared library?

[James Egan]

I'm just beginning to learn C++. If the test()
function listed below was in a shared object
library named mylib.so, how would I access then
from another .cpp program? Can someone please
show me a .cpp example, and then how to link it
with GNU g++? I tried to find the answer on google,
but could not.

-Thanks


#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void test()
{
cout << "In test() function" << endl;
}

Please post to gnu.g++.help. Shared objects are not defined by
the C++ language, they are platform-specific and as such are
off-topic here.
