Ok,
It appears to work the same as the java System.loadLibrary(<libname>)
in that it is OS agnostic and finds an OS specific library. So I went
to using "summarizer37". It now does not complain about not being able
to find it. However, the reason that the library was included was to
provide reference to a number of symbols (functions) I am using in
jsummarizer.cc. Other functions (e.g. destructors) are still showing
up as unresolved and therefore no dll is being produced. Using a dll
tool, I can see that at least some of them are in the export table of
summarizer37.dll or any of the other 4 dlls it depends on. Tried
linking to all 5, no joy. Is there an option I need to be using the
signals that I am not interessted in using those?
