Linker error while building unit tests with Boost

Question

I'm using gcc 4.8.2 with Boost 1.59. I run on Kubuntu 12.04 LTS. I'm just trying to write a simple unit test application and I'm experiencing linker error.

Here is my code:

main.cpp

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE My Module
#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

test1.cpp

#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( suite1 );
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( case1 )
{
    BOOST_TEST_MESSAGE( "Hello!" );
}
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END();

When I build I do: g++ -std=c++11 -o test main.cpp test1.cpp -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lboost_unit_test_framework. And I get this result:

/tmp/ccmNLUMx.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':
test1.cpp:(.text+0x15e): undefined reference to `boost::unit_test::ut_detail::auto_test_unit_registrar::auto_test_unit_registrar(boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<char const>)'

Do you have any idea about what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

What is given here could not solve my problem... :-(

Answer 1

I had the same problem. My solution is, change the include path:

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> // wrong  
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp> // this work

I had found the solution in the first example of boost unit test. I test it with boost 1.60 and gcc 4.8.5
