"official" status of creating .dll/.so

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/"official" status of creating .dll/.so

Hello!

I know that there is an "experimental feature", which allows to create DLLs from BlitzMAX code (just search this forum for the keyword "dll" and you'll find some threads dealing with this issue)

What is the current "official" status of this feature? Is it still experimental? If yes: will it become "productive" in the (near) future?

And: how do I build shared objects for Mac OS X and Linux?

(Not being able to create dynamically linkable libraries is probably the only disadvantage of BlitzMAX compared to PureBasic)

Thanks in advance for any help!

It is nativelly suported using the BLIde ide. Also, you can create by hand a def file and pass the appropiate parameters to the BMK utility. It works great for DLL creation, haven't tested with .so files
