Package: libboost-test1.34.1 Version: 1.34.1-2 Severity: important Hi,
the unit test library of Boost is currently not usable if one wants to link against a shared library instead of using header files or the static library. Trying to link the sample program from http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/utf/index.html #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> void my_test_function() { } boost::unit_test::test_suite* init_unit_test_suite(int argc, char* argv[]) { boost::unit_test::test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("Master test suite"); test->add( BOOST_TEST_CASE( &my_test_function ) ); return test; } results in: $ g++ -Wall test.cpp -lboost_unit_test_framework-gcc41-1_34_1 /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start': (.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Linking against the static library works: $ g++ -Wall test.cpp /usr/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework-gcc41-1_34_1.a $ ./a.out Running 1 test case... *** No errors detected Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
