Hi,
I dont know a particular tutorial, but you should check de dlopen/dlsym/dlclose manual pages (and then search for that in google

). Those functions lets you dynamicaly load code in C/C++ (ok, with C++ is a bit trickier but thats the only thing available).

Cheers!

Hi -

I'm not sure what you mean by "plug-in", but I suspect (if you're not already familiar with them) you might be interested in either Qt and/or GTK+:

Hello!

You can look (download) documents at:

http://www.advancedlinuxprogramming.com/alp-folder

It has an example of plugin system using shared libraries and
dlopen/dlsym/dlclose.

There is also an example of plugable simple server program.

Hope this helps you
