[Boost-users] [Test] unit_test_framework link problem

Hi,

Up to boost version 1.33.1 I used to be able to successfully build my 
unitests, which define a testsuite with the library function 
init_unit_test_suite, like this:

g++ -o build/debug/test/devs/test_shdevlib.o -c -g -Wall -ftemplate-depth-255 
-O0 -fno-inline -I. -I/home/boost/src/boost-built test/devs/test_shdevlib.cpp
g++ -o build/debug/test/devs/test_shdevlib -Wl,-rpath-link,. -rdynamic 
build/debug/test/devs/test_shdevlib.o -L/home/boost/src/boost-built/stage/lib 
-lboost_unit_test_framework-gcc-d -ldl

With the current cvs version of boost this doesn't work any more. Linking 
fails with the following error:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): In 
function `_start':
../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:98: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is on linux with gcc 3.3.3.

Is this usage of the UTF not supported any more? How do I have to change the 
way I'm building my unit tests? Linking to the static version?

TIA,

Chris
