Thanks for the response. The problem I faced with makefile editing is 
that, shared libraries' object files need the -fPIC option while the 
static library's object files should not be built with that.

In my makefile, I have a single rule to convert .c files to .o files. It 
goes like


%.o : %.c
   $(CC) $(FLAGS) -c $< -o $@

To produce both static and shared libraries, I need two such rules. Can 
someone tell me how to do that?

thanks
