Re: [Boost-users] [test] How do you create test cases in a DLL

This may not help, and may not be the right way to go about it, but typically I get around this by putting all of the internal bits into a static lib, then linking that into the test binary. This also means that when I link the DLL, the test bits are left out, so I don't have to ship alot of redundant test code which the unused testInternals export would cause to be included in the final DLL. Admitedly, my DLLs are designed to be built in this way..

Subject: [Boost-users] [test] How do you create test cases in a DLL

I have some internal (non-exported) classes in a DLL that I want to test. I'm trying to do this by exporting a testInternals() function that my tester application will add to it's test suite.

The problem I'm having is that to use any of the BOOST_CHECK_??? etc macros I have to include the <boost/test/test_tools.hpp> file. This causes undefined symbol linker errors. 

Is there a way to do what I want to do?
