[Please do not mail me a copy of your followup]

boost-users_at_[hidden]<mailto:boost-users_at_[hidden]> spake the secret code
<7364AB234369D348AE1CEBC1A86132DBAD32EA_at_[hidden]<http://SVLITMX02.shoretel.com>> thusly:

$ ${CXX} -c --std=c++0x -g -I${TARGET}/include cma.cpp -o cma.o
$ ${CXX} --std=c++0x -g cma.o ${TARGET}/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.a \
${TARGET}/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.dylib -o cma

Why are you linking against boost_test_exec_monitor?

I've never needed to do that.  boost_unit_test_framework should be enough.

Interesting.  Because I'm finding the following:

$ ${CXX} -c --std=c++0x -g -I${TARGET}/include cma.cpp -o cma.o
$ ${CXX} --std=c++0x -g cma.o ${TARGET}/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.dylib -o cma
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_main", referenced from:
     implicit entry/start for main executable
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
$

But that is also what I'm finding with the system GCC and the Fink install of Boost 1.46, and so that behavior isn't unique my attempt to build/use a Boost with GCC 4.8.0 using --std=c++0x.

$ g++ -c -g -I/sw/include cma.cpp -o cma.o
$ g++ -g -L/sw/lib cma.o -lboost_unit_test_framework-mt
