[Qt-interest] Use qmake to build *.so instead of *.dylib on OS X 10.6

[Ole Rehmsen]

Greetings,

I am trying to deploy as a shared library using the lib template on OS X, but I cannot figure out how to create a library with the extension .so instead of .dylib . 
I have searched the docs an this mailing list, but the regex *.so unfortunately pretty much hits every post, making it very hard to find what I am looking for :-)

I need a *.so because I read python cannot load *.dylib as I read here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2488016/how-to-make-python-load-dylib-on-osx
The solution they suggest there is to use libtool, but I don't know how to change my *.pro file to use libtool, either. 

The final purpose of this is to wrap my C++ code (using, among other stuff, Qt) in python using SWIG. I found an post from way back in this mailing list (http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2005-10/thread00555-0.html) that talks about using Qt an SWIG to wrap for Python, but if I use the code provided I get a dylib aswell, and python tells me it cannot import the library.

Any help is appreciated!

Ole
