I have been doing modding for some time by using just lua and xml. I started to look into dll mods and wonder that why these mods cannot be ported to mac and linux.

I understand .dll files are for windows but from my understanding, we should also be able to compile the c++ code into .so for mac and linux. So why is it not used in Civ 5 modding? Is there any technical issues that prevent us from doing so?
 
I just saw someone in other posting saying the Mac version has the libraries statically linked. That answered my question.
