Did you look here?

>The following toy example doesn't work :

Correct.  The global fixture won't become the base class of your test
cases.  Use BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE to make a fixture the base class
of a particular test case or BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE to make a
fixture the base class of all test cases in a suite.

BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE is for global setup/teardown where the c'tor runs
before any test case and the d'tor runs after all test cases.
