Target: i686-w64-mingw32 Thread model: posix)
 
(This is Ruben's mingw64 build)
 
on Netbeans 7.2 on Windows 7.
 
The compilation stage goes OK
 
(but with many warnings

but the link stage to build the library fails with many
 
Cannot export boost::test_tools::tt_detail::check_impl(boost::test_tools::predicate_result const&,
boost::unit_test::lazy_ostream const&, boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<char const>, unsigned int,
boost::test_tools::tt_detail::tool_level, boost::test_tools::tt_detail::check_type, unsigned int,
...): symbol not found
 
(full output window message attached).
 
I have also failed to build using bjam (missing <cstddef> so missing the right stdlib?) and I wonder
if both these are connected with lack of a suitable boost/config.hpp which caters for Clang *on this
configuration*.
 
Where would/should __clang__   be defined in order to select this compiler?
 
My user-config.jam contains (in an attempt to cure )
 
#  Clang compiler using mingw32 dw2 Ruben's release.
using clang
  : 3.1
  : "C:/mingw32-dw2/bin/clang++.exe"
  : <cxxflags>-v
    <cxxflags>-std="c++11"
    <cflags>-nostdinc # Do not include MSVC C headers.
    #<cflag>-c-include-dirs=???
    <cxxflags>-nostdinc++ # Do not include MSVC C++ headers.

    #<define>BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG="i:/boost-trunk/boost/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp"

  ;
 
Any views on my woes?
