Depends how you want create them. You can have statically-linked libraries (those end in .a, and are linked at compile time), or you can have dynamically-linked libraries (they usually end in .so, and they're similar to Windows DLLs). A static library is nothing more than an archived object file, a dynamic library requires some special gcc command-line arguments. Here's a brief tutorial;

for more information, look at the gcc manpage.

Thank you for your reply.
It's more simple than windows dll's :)
