Re: [Boost-users] Problem with Boost.Test (1.36.0) and Visual Studio 2008 SP1

Meanwhile, I investigated the matter a little further. This symbole is defined in the Boost unit test framework library, so it should have been included in the object file. May it be a Visual Studio issue ? Was Boost 1.36 tested with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 ?

On a side note, there is no multi-file Boost.Test example.

Look at my MD5 code in the sandbox SVN, <http://svn.boost.org/trac/ boost/browser/sandbox/md5/libs/coding/test>, for tests the span multiple files. (The three MD5-related test files are supposed to be compiled together. The Adler-32 test file is separate.)

Nobody has a clue on this matter ? Anyone uses Boost 1.36 with multiple files with Visual Studio 2008 ?

I'm trying to build a test suite that worked with Linux and an older Boost version (1.34.1). I tried to compile it with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 with Boost 1.36 and I ran into this error : link /nologo /OUT:IRT_test_suit.exe /LIBPATH:D:\Travail \boost_1_36_0\lib "/LIBPA TH:D:\Python 2.5\libs" /LIBPATH:. IRT.lib boost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_36 .lib tools\boost_main_test.obj test_light.obj boost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_36.lib (boost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_3 6.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: static class boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t & __cdecl boost::unit_test::singleton<class boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t>:: instance(void)" (?instance@? $singleton@Vunit_test_log_t@unit_test@boost@@@unit_t est@boost@@SAAAVunit_test_log_t@23@XZ) déjà défini(e) dans test_light.obj IRT_test_suit.exe : fatal error LNK1169: un ou plusieurs symboles définis à diff érentes reprises ont été rencontrés

boost_main_test.cpp consists of: #define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE "IRT test suit" #include

And test_light.cpp: #include

Both files were compiled with the arguments cl /nologo /EHsc /Ox /MD -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE -DWIN32 /TP /ID:\Travail\boo st_1_36_0 /I. /c test_light.cpp /Fotest_light.obj

I didn't find a thing on the Internet with this issue, so I hope someone will have a clue...

Did you make sure that the BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK and BOOST_TEST_MODULE macros are the current names? All sorts of names within Boost.Test have changed over the years, so make sure you're up to date when upgrading your Boost setup. Also, the list of mandatory source files has changed over the years, so make sure your upgraded project file isn't missing a source file that was added since boost 1.34.1. (Look in "BOOST_ROOT/libs/test/src" for the files, and "BOOST_ROOT/libs/ test/build/Jamfile.v2" to see the lists of which sub-libraries use which source files. You need to look at the unit-test sub-library's list.) -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com
