I am not sure I follow all of the details, but the fact that you have
single-header version of UTF included in 2 different compilation units seems
suspicious and might be a source of your problem.

That was just the little hint I needed. All of the documentation examples use these include statements. I didn't quite understand it was only for single-header includes. I remember trying out the other includes (boost/test/unit_test.hpp) but apparently I had other flags set wrong, so it didn't compile either.

It turns out to be very simple after all. To link with the dynamic library I now use:

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

I think I've tried every wrong combination possible before.

Another comment: you are using yur own main. No reason to employ
BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE. Just do what you need pre and post unit test main.

Ah ok.

Thanks a lot for your help and your time. I can finally start testing:)

Best,
