Is it still possible to use the old-style plugin for libreoffice without the UNO-Overhead?

I'm using LibreOffice 5.0.6.3 on a Linux machine (openSuSE 13.2). Here I found an article how to easily write an add-in without the overhead of the UNO API. In the beginning there is a warning, that this method is outdated, but still supported. But when I try to import my shared library in libreoffice the following error appears:

no symbol "component_writeInfo" in component library <file:///home/username/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/lu27745lr6l0g.tmp_/oolinint2d.so>

Reading this error message, I suppose, that libreoffice is looking for some UNO component.

I see two possibilities:

How do I find out, which one is true?

From looking at InitExternalFunc in the source code, it may still be possible, although to my knowledge, no one does it this way anymore.

You tried to import the library -- what does that mean precisely? According to the page:

LibreOffice searches the Add-in folder defined in the configuration for a suitable DLLshared library.

Be sure that you are using the correct location (and I cannot tell you where that is; sorry).

From the question, it looks like you tried to include it as part of an UNO package instead, which doesn't seem right, because then it would expect a component, right? The error message seems to indicate that is what went wrong.

I have always created add-ins this way instead.
