This are the command line options:

The article you mentioned is good. Everything is configured as described there. The wxWidgets settings don't help me, because I don't use wxWidgets in this project.

MinGW GCC does NOT produce .lib files; MSVC and other windows compilers produce .lib files.

Your post builds steps are not working; assume all relative paths are relative to project file location.

Samuel G.:
Jes, I forgot that this mechanism is called .a under gcc, not .lib. Sorry I have got confused about all this stuff.
So again: how to generate a .a as part of a DLL-Project?
It is just a pitty that there is no Project template for creating DLLs in Codeblocks for ubuntu. And I didn't find any documents on how to resemble the necessary settings by hand.
[of course my post build steps don't work, because they expect a .a file in the output]

The command used under Windows MinGW GCC DLL build.

NOTE: You really need to find a support site for your questions other than Code::Blocks Website; Your questions are compiler related in nearly all cases.

What about the shared library template?

--- Quote ---Yes linux does use dll's, however the name dll isn't a generic computer science term it's just what windows calls it, it's a function library and in linux they're called libraries and pretty much always have the postfix of .so.
