For compatibility/legacy reasons, we can not use the Boost.Build jamfiles to build our application. Accordingly, I've written a set of traditional makefiles to build the project's executables and have run into difficulties.
Specifically, when I try to link my test program against the boost test
MessageHi, Michael Looks like you are trying to use Test Execution Monitor. For documentation check http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/test_exec_monitor/index.html Specifically look on Usage section, tht answer your question in details. Regards, Gennadiy libraries, I get an error message (reformatted for easy reading) saying that the reference to
test_main can not be resolved. Here's the spew (formatted to make it easier to read):
g++ -g3 -L../long/debug -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib/stlpor t -L/usr/local/lib/boost
-o "debug/unit_test" debug/longtest.o -lLong -lboost_unit_test_framework-gcc-mt-p
If you are using Test Execution Monitor you dont need to link with above library, only with one below.
-lboost_test_exec_monitor-gcc-mt-p -lpthread -lc
/usr/local/lib/boost/libboost_test_exec_monitor-gcc-mt-p.so: undefined
reference to `test_main(int, char**)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit
status make: *** [debug/unit_test] Error 1 According to nm, the undefined reference, test_main, is defined in the exec_monitor library. I've tried reordering the libraries but no joy. Any advice and/or hints would be very much appreciated.
I am using STLPort-4.6.2 and boost_1_32_0 and Linux (I386)
Cheers,
Michael
