Hi folks,

I got an irritating problem and maybe one of you have the knowledge to help me out.

Compile and link is the challenge

I’m working on Solaris (Oracle) and I verify it is one of the newest so no problem should expect using Boost.

I downloaded boost_1_44_0.tar.bz2.

And follow the instructions from http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

I checked with the simple program from section 4 and it works fine.

Great, now happy and cheerful I build a simple test as describe on the unit test module.

I tried to build it using a make file and failed.

So I tried as in the previous example

c++ -I ~/boost_1_44_0 TestBoost.cpp -o g1TestBoost.o

It gave lots of errors. I got the feeling as if 2 different stl libs are involved.

What did I done wrong? What should I do to make it right? Is there anybody out there?

The challenge is to compile it with a make file. Do you know how?

Thanks.

Gilam

The test is copy from the manual.

TestBoost.cpp

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE AAH_TEST

#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK 1

#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

class my_class {

int a;

public:

my_class(const int _a) {a = _a;}

bool is_valid();

};

bool my_class::is_valid()

{

return a > 5;

}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( my_test )

{

my_class test_object(7);

BOOST_CHECK( test_object.is_valid() );

}

//the original example include this but it will not compile because the macro already define a main.

main( int argc, char* argv[] )

{

return ::boost::unit_test::unit_test_main( &init_unit_test, argc, argv );

}

The output of

c++ -I ~/boost_1_44_0 TestBoost.cpp -o g1TestBoost.o
