Question

I have built a simple GUI application in QtCreator-2.0.1 i have following files:

first.pro  
first.pro.user  
main.cpp  
mainwindow.cpp  
mainwindow.h  
mainwindow.ui

If I run qmake and make it gives me an executable. Is it possible to generate a .so file from these files? if so, can someone tell me the steps to be followed?

TEMPLATE = lib
