[Boost-users] Boost.Test with Boost.Thread

5 Mar 2011

      I am learning to create simple unit tests using Boost.Test. I am getting the following error when I run bjam. 

C:/DevTools/boost_1_44_0/tools/build/v2/build\feature.jam:138: in feature.feature from module feature
error: feature already defined:
error: in feature declaration:
error: feature "threadapi" : "pthread" "win32" : "propagated"

My Jamroot file is shown below :
-------------------------------------

import os ; 
import testing ; 

use-project /blues/system : c:/devtools/boost_1_44_0/libs/system/build ; 
use-project /blues/thread : c:/devtools/boost_1_44_0/libs/thread/build ; 
use-project /blues/test : c:/devtools/boost_1_44_0/libs/test/build ; 

project  
  :
  : requirements 
    <threading>multi 
    <link>static 
    <include>c:/devtools/boost_1_44_0 
    <define>_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 
    <define>_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS=1 
    <define>_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS=1 
  ; 

and my Jamfile is shown below :
-------------------------------------

alias unit_test_framework
  : # Sources  
    /blues/test//boost_unit_test_framework 
  ; 

explicit unit_test_framework ; 

run-fail unit_test_example_01.cpp unit_test_framework ;

How can I successfully build the unit test ?

Thanks.
