     Type:  Bugs                     |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  To Be Determined         |   Component:  Documentation
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0             |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:                           |

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/test/doc/html/tutorials/new-

 year-resolution.html has the following instructions for running example:
 "Now I can compile it and link with the unit test framework."
 But how to link?! No mention in this page or any before. If the user reads
 documentation sequentially this is confusing.

 Even more if you read documentation till end you won't find how UTF
 static/shared library is called. Someone would it expect it to be
 described at[[br]]
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/user-guide

 /usage-variants/static-lib-variant.html or[[br]]
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/test/doc/html/utf/user-guide

 /usage-variants/dynamic-lib-variant.html [[br]]
 but again it is not there.[[BR]]
 The only way to find this out is to do a #grep
 <unresolved_symbols_you_got> /usr/local/lib/libboost_*
