[Boost-users] issues with unit tests on intel 32 bit, gcc 4.3, undefined reference to `__sync_fetch_and_add_4'

13 Apr 2009

      Hi,

I'm having an issue to link a boost unit test application on a Linux
box, which is 64 bit - but I want to create a 32 bit application.

I saw the following bug report: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2525

and applied to patches attached, but to no avail. I also tried the
latest svn trunk of boost, but still no luck.

I'm trying to compile & link the following simple sample app:

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

using namespace boost::unit_test;

test_suite *
init_unit_test_suite(int, char ** const) {
    test_suite *ts = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("test_suite");
    framework::master_test_suite().add(ts);

    return 0;
}

I get the following results:

$ make tests

-I/home/maroy/src/tyrell/src/darksweep/usr/include/boost-1_39 -o tests

I compiled boost using the following command:

bjam architecture=x86 address-model=32 link=static runtime-link=static
--prefix=../../usr --includedir=../../usr/include --libdir=../../usr/lib
install

I have the following:

$ g++ --version

(basically Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit)

am I doing something wrong?
