No, unless I also define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK, but then I have to copy across the boost test dll (it's not picked up in the manifest by default).

I keep getting the LNK1561: entry point must be defined error. I know that it's looking for, and picking up, the libboost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-1_35.lib as if I remove the /LIBPATH from the link command options it compains that it cannot find that library.

Open a VS command prompt window, go to the lib folder, and type: dumpbin libboost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-1_35.lib /LINKERMEMBER > symbols.txt Then open symbols.txt and search for _main. If its missing, try rebuilding the lib. --John
