Convert O to SO

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert O to SO?
Yes - O converts to SO.

Link objects into a shared library: 'gcc -shared -o libfoo.so *.o' - but the objects must have been compiled position-independent ('-fPIC'). Otherwise recompile the source. Not a rename.

Also to SO: A · PYD · KO
