[Boost-users] Linking errors while using the test library (for a very basic program)

I have a very simple program 
********************************************************************
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
using boost::unit_test::test_suite;

void MyTest()
{
        BOOST_CHECK(2==2);
}

test_suite * init_unit_test_suite( int, char* [] ) {
  test_suite* test= BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "Simple test" );
  test->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE( &MyTest ), 0);
  return test;
}
****************************************************************************************
I am trying to compile it using the following commands

g++ -c BoostTest.cpp -I~/boost/include/boost-1_33_1/
g++ -o BT BoostTest.o -I/home/josh/boost/include/boost-1_33_1/ /home/josh/boost/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework-gcc-s.a

The first step completes without a problem, the linking stage gives the following 
errors

BoostTest.o(.text+0x15b): In function `MyTest()':
: undefined reference to `boost::test_tools::tt_detail::test_and_continue_impl(bool, boost::basic_wrap_stringstream<char>&, boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<char const>, unsigned int, bool, boost::unit_test::log_level)'
