This is covered in docs I believe. BOOST_TEST_MODULE has similar
effect
as
BOOST_TEST_MAIN, but also define the name of the master test suite
Since I don't really need to define the name of the master test
suite,
I will not use BOOST_TEST_MODULE.
As it turns out, that still does not yield a working example. I then
have no init_unit_test_suite()
Please post an example and how you build it.
The example is basically the same example that was posted earlier:
Test1.cpp:
#include "stdafx.h"

#define BOOST_TEST_MAIN Yes  // Remove this line and we stop working

#include 
#include 

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(foo1)

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(foo1case)
{
     BOOST_CHECK(4 == 4);
}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()
Test2.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"

#include 
#include 

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Yeah

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(foo2)

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(foo2case)
{
    BOOST_CHECK(4 == 4);
}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()

	Now when you link to the static version of the lib you get this:

1>libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-gd-1_38.lib(unit_test_main.obj) : error LNK2019: 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) referenced in function _main

Project is a simple Visual Studio 2008 one using static version of boost:
