I'm trying to get what I think should be a simple example of Boost.Test (Boost 1.53) to work but I'm getting a segmentation fault, having used other of the Boost libraries from the same build/install of 1.53 without any problems. Am I doing anything obviously wrong? Thanks in advance for any help. $ cat test/cma.cpp #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE cma #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <ostream> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(sanity) { std::clog << "Test the world!\n"; } $ make check [100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/test-cma.dir/test/cma.cpp.o Linking CXX executable test-cma [100%] Built target test-cma [100%] Built target check $ env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${TARGET}/lib ./test-cma Running 1 test case...
