So I decided to build the boost libraries (boost 1_33_1).
Unfortunately, now I can't get my testing code to link with these libraries!
Could anyone tell me which of the following I should be linking to (I am building in 'release' mode with multithreading)?
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-gdp-1_33_1.lib libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-gdp.lib libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-p-1_33_1.lib libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-p.lib libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-sgdp-1_33_1.lib libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-sgdp.lib libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-sp-1_33_1.lib libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-sp.lib
There is a page in general boost docs (somewhere abound boost.build docs) that explains meaning of all these letters.
In fact, I've tried them all without success.
Here is an example error message:
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-sp-1_33_1.lib(framework.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class boost::unit_test::test_suite * __cdecl init_unit_test_suite(int,char * * const)" (?init_unit_test_suite@@YAPAVtest_suite@unit_test@boost@@HQAPAD@Z) Release/mst_gum_tree_real_dev.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Error executing link.exe.
Do you have this function init_unit_test_suite?
Also, I simply removed the #include of unit_test_framework.hpp in my original source code. Is that correct? The remaining includes are: unit_test.hpp and floating_point_comparison.hpp.
should be ok.
As an alternative to linking to the libraries, I have tried to include the source files in my project, as suggested in the unit test documentation, but that doesn't work either! The documentation does not appear to be up to date.
Yep. That's true, unfortunately. It should work, once you link with proper library. Gennadiy
