Hi,

I'm trying to build a test suite that worked with Linux and an older
Boost version (1.34.1). I tried to compile it with Visual Studio 2008
SP1 with Boost 1.36 and I ran into this error :
link /nologo /OUT:IRT_test_suit.exe /LIBPATH:D:\Travail\boost_1_36_0\lib "/LIBPA
TH:D:\Python 2.5\libs" /LIBPATH:. IRT.lib boost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_36
.lib tools\boost_main_test.obj test_light.obj
boost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_36.lib(boost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_3
6.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: static class boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t
& __cdecl boost::unit_test::singleton<class boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t>::
instance(void)" (?instance@?$singleton_at_Vunit_test_log_t_at_unit_test_at_boost@@@unit_t
est_at_boost@@SAAAVunit_test_log_t_at_23@XZ) déjà défini(e) dans test_light.obj
IRT_test_suit.exe : fatal error LNK1169: un ou plusieurs symboles définis à diff
érentes reprises ont été rencontrés

boost_main_test.cpp consists of:
#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE "IRT test suit"
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

And test_light.cpp:
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

Both files were compiled with the arguments cl /nologo /EHsc /Ox /MD
-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE -DWIN32 /TP /ID:\Travail\boo
st_1_36_0 /I. /c test_light.cpp /Fotest_light.obj

I didn't find a thing on the Internet with this issue, so I hope
someone will have a clue...
