Please read this:

I am guessing that you get some link error, but it is difficult to
help you when you don't tell *exactly* what the error is.

I've never used 'dlltool'; reading its man page, I do not immediately
see how you can tell from its output what is and what isn't in the
export table of summarizer37.dll.

Also, you mention destructors. If summarizer37.dll was not produced
by the same version of g++ you are using, you can't expect to be
able to link to destructors defined in it, because C++ code compiled
with different compilers is not link-compatible.

But you *are* interested in those symbols: your jsummarizer.obj
references them (or else your link would not have failed).
