[Boost-users] Newbie Issues linking Boost Unit Test Framework

hey there...

I recently downloaded, built, and installed Boost 1.32.

I am attempting to use the Boost Unit Test Framework but am running
into difficulties figuring out which lib to link to.

I am compiling with MS VC++ 7.1. The headers appear to be discovered
as they should be, but the linker is failing
to find the correct lib. I have tried many of the libs which were
created by the build, but these all create more errors
(typically to do with redefinitions of std:: functions). At this
point I am only trying to compile the example code
supplied on the projects web site.

some of the libs I tried:

libboost_prg_exec_monitor-vc71-mt-1_32.lib
libboost_test_exec_monitor-vc71-mt-1_32.lib
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt-1_32.lib

some articles I found online advised turning on mutithreading in the
compiler properities, enabling run time type identification, and
setting exceptions to /EHa

I've done all of this but nothing is working, it really just looks
like a linker problem.

Thanks for any help
Dave

Which example?

You need only one of the above depending on with component you are using.

This seems like right direction to look.

There isn't much I could help here. It's obviosly some kind of flags
mismatch between library and test compilation. What I would recommend to do
is add MS VC library project into your solution (they are located in build
directory). Compile and use library produced by it. And compare fllags.

Hi there...

I switched the lib to: libboost_unit_test_framework-vc71-mt.lib
and added BOOST_TEST_NO_AUTO_LINK to the preprocessor
configuration and this seems to work.

The code now runs through to the end but it reports a memory
access violation in one of the *.cpp used to build the lib ??

The memory error shows up even if I change the test case to test "2
== 2"
so I am confused as to whether or not the code is actually behaving
as expected.

The code I was trying to compile is the first test example
(unit_test_example1).

thanks for the help

Dave

I realized what I was reading after that last post. It appears that
the library is functioning fine now.

no more coding at 5am... promise :)

Thanks for all the help
