I expect to see: Caught my_exception1

This is what I observe with trunk build.

I get: Running 1 test case... unknown location(0): fatal error in "excption1_test": unknown type

Environment: boost 1.49.0 gcc 4.6.3 Fedora 15 linked boost test library

Weird. Should have worked.

Hello again! I just gave boost 1.55.0 with gcc 4.7.2 a try. But the old test in my initial mail still results in unknown location(0): fatal error in "excption1_test": unknown type. Since I was sure I saw the custom exception handling working one day, I tried the header only version by including #include . And this time I saw the expected result: Caught my_exception1!!! Unfortunately I have to use the dynamic library test variant. So can anybody tell me how to enable the custom exception handling for the dynamic test library? What is the difference to the header-only variant (concerning the exception handling). Thanks for any hints Jörg
