Answer 1

in centOs 7:

libboost_unit_test_framework.a is a static lib .

you need to install a static boost lib:

yum install boost-devel-static

Answer 2

I found the solution investigatng a similar issue with thrift 1.0.0-dev on debian jessie armhf:

Set a softlink to libboost_unit_test_framework.a to complete the build.
