[Boost-users] linker error creating simple unit_test (boost 1.31.0 + win32 + vc 71)

I'm trying to create a simple unit test (using the Unit Test Framework) using boost 1.31.0 + win32 + vc71, but I get the following linker error due to the undefined symbol __imp___CrtSetReportHook:

tests error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp___CrtSetReportHook referenced in function "public: int __thiscall boost::execution_monitor::execute(bool,int)" (?execute_at_execution_monitor_at_boost@@QAEH_NH_at_Z)

There was mention of this undefined symbol (__imp___CrtSetReportHook) in this thread: http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg43787.php. However, that post was concerning the Metrowerks compiler, but I am using Microsoft's vc71 compiler.

Can someone help me resolve this undefined symbol (__imp___CrtSetReportHook) problem? Here is my simple "unit test suite" that I am trying to build:

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp>

using boost::unit_test_framework::test_suite;

void test_GleamData()
{
        BOOST_CHECK(2 == 1); // non-critical test => continue after failure }

test_suite*
init_unit_test_suite( int, char* [] )
{
        test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "GleamAnalysis Test Suite" );

        test -> add( BOOST_TEST_CASE( &test_GleamData ), 1 /* expected one error */ );

        return test;
}

Warmest regards, Matt
