This is because your library was built without BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API.

Having looked at the documentation, it suggests that I only need to build the library with BOOST_TEST_NO_MAIN if I want to supply my own main. Why do I also need to also build with BOOST_TEST_ALTERNATIVE_INIT_API?

Why did you specify it in your test module?

The value of this macro should be the same both during library build and

when you build test module.

OK. I get it now thanks.
