Hello Carl,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

If I understand your situation correctly, you are trying to create the
equivalent of a LabVIEW DLL in Mac OS X.

In the Mac OS world, a shared library is known as a Code Fragment.  In
order to create a Code Fragment in Mac OS X, you will need to use a
Mac version of LabVIEW that includes the Mac OS Application Builder.
You can convert the VI(s) you have created in Windows to Mac and then
rebuild your stand-alone application.

Once you have rebuilt the application in the Mac environment, ensure
that you have the LabVIEW runtime engine installed on any Mac machine
that you are trying to call the Code Fragment (Mac DLL) on.  Also be
aware that to use the Build DLL functionality on the Macintosh, you
must have a full installation of Apple MPW (Macintosh Programmer's
Workshop), including ToolServer, on the computer.  You can download
Apple MPW at www.apple.com/developer.  It is not sufficient to have an
installation of the Code Warrior MPW.  It does not include the
necessary set of tools.

I hope this helps!  Let me know if you have further questions.
