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.)
Thanks, I'll try that right away.
Did you make sure that the BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK and BOOST_TEST_MODULE macros are the current names?
I think so, I found them in the documentation. But the error occurs without them as well (although it obviously complains about the missing main() function). 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.)
I've used bjam to compile Boost, so there should not be any missing file. Besides, there are too many functions with the same name, not not enough. Thanks for the answer, I was becoming desperate !
