Are you working on Windows?

[crisogona2000]

yes, i am working on windows10 and i use gnu gcc compiler, to compile .so file.

windows does not use .so files, but .a files and without more information (you can provide them by following my link) we can not help much

Windows uses .dll instead of .so files; and it tends to use .a or .lib files with the DLLs.
