> I'd like to be able to run a boost unit test, e.g.
is_convertible_test.cpp, as kind of a one-shot apart from having to deal
with the rest of boost. So I read the documentation on the unit test
framework, and it seems like this should be relatively straightforward. I've
created a Carbon Console project in Codewarrior, which contains the
following files:

remove is_convertible_test.cpp and rebuild and run again, I get the same
result. :-) So my suspicion is that I need to do more to let the framework
know that it needs to run is_convertible_test.cpp. Can someone please clue
me in as to what that is, in minimal terms?

No you've got it right - it's just that the unit test lib doesn't report
much by default - if you look at the jamfile you will see that it uses the
following command line args:

--report_level=detailed --build_info=yes --log_level=messages

you can do all this with bjam BTW, with:

bjam is_convertible_test.test

Hope this helps,

John.
