boost-users@lists.boost.org spake the secret code
<7364AB234369D348AE1CEBC1A86132DBAD32EA@SVLITMX02.shoretel.com> thusly:

$ ${CXX} -c --std=c++0x -g -I${TARGET}/include cma.cpp -o cma.o
$ ${CXX} --std=c++0x -g cma.o ${TARGET}/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.a \
${TARGET}/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.dylib -o cma

Why are you linking against boost_test_exec_monitor?

I've never needed to do that. boost_unit_test_framework should be enough.

$ ${CXX} -c --std=c++0x -g -I${TARGET}/include cma.cpp -o cma.o

$ ${CXX} --std=c++0x -g cma.o ${TARGET}/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.dylib -o cma

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

"_main", referenced from:

implicit entry/start for main executable

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

But that is also what I'm finding with the system GCC and the Fink install of Boost 1.46, and so that behavior isn't unique my attempt to build/use a Boost with GCC 4.8.0 using --std=c++0x.

$ g++ -c -g -I/sw/include cma.cpp -o cma.o

$ g++ -g -L/sw/lib cma.o -lboost_unit_test_framework-mt

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
