You can't convert them. .a files are static libraries that are actually
compiled into
your binaries. .so files are dynamically loaded and they are compiled to
contain special Position-Independent code so that when they are used by a
given program, the
addresses of each function in the .so file can be resolved and the code will
work correctly.
A .a file is just a collection of object files thrown together in an
archive. A .so file actually must be compiled differently than an .a file
would be.
