beginner question about boost Unit test framework
I am using Boost 1.31 with VC 6.0. I am testing the simplest example provided in the boost document. It seems "boost::unit_test" is not a valid namespace. After I change it to "boost::unit_test_framwork", it can compile but can not link, the error I got is "LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined". The exmaple I used: #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> using namespace boost::unit_test; test_suite* init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char* argv[] ) { test_suite* test= BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "const_string test" ); return test; } Thanks for any help

IIRC there were significant changes to the unit test framework between V1.31 and V1.32, and the document you're looking at almost certainly describes 1.32. Try upgrading Boost and see what happens. (The 1.32 version of the unit test framework was actually a big influence on our decision to officially move our code base from using 1.31 to 1.32.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Steffen, Ph.D. "There are two ways to write error-free Software Engineer IV programs; only the third one works."

I am using VC6.0 so I can not use boost1.32. I tried the boost1.31 example, I got the same link error. Below is the command I used for linking... cl /nologo /EHsc- /Zi /Yd /Od /MDd /Zm200 /FD -D_DEBUG_MEMORY -I. -I.\include -IC:\dev\head\server\boost_ 1_31_0 /Fe..\bin\test_cmdparse.exe test_cmdparse.obj -link C:\dev\head\server\boost_1_31_0\stage\lib\libboost_test_exec_monitor-vc6-m t-gd-1_31.lib C:\dev\head\yukon-server\boost_1_31_0\stage\lib\libboost_unit_test_framework-vc6-mt-gd-1_31.lib C:\dev\head\yukon-server\boost_1_31_0\stage\lib\libboost_prg_exec_monitor-vc6-mt-gd-1_31.lib From: "Dave Steffen" <dgsteffen@numerica.us>

I had a similar problem because I accidentally tried to build a GUI program instead of a console program. When I used the linker flag "/subsystem:console" it fixed the problem. Jason At 05:52 PM 7/19/2005, you wrote:

I'm sorry about quoting all of that last message. I hit send before I thought. Jason

What are you trying to link? What kind of project? Could you list of your libs and sources? Gennadiy

I think you are mistaken. The cause for your problem could be that you have both 1.31 and 1.32 installed and you are compiling pointing to 1.32 while linking with libs build with 1.32 or vice versa. Gennadiy
I think my problem is how to use the boost test .lib to link the test program. I tried to put #include <boost/test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp> in the code and it works. But in this case I have to put the boost src code in there. What I want is only use the header files and the generated libs. I dont know how to correctly link the libs with the program.
