Hello,

I am working on a project of boost unit testing framework using QT creator.
I have written a small test program and trying to link
"libboost_unit_test_framework-vc100-mt-gd-1_56.lib". This library is
present at specified path. But program fails to compile giving said linking
error.

I searched on net and found that, error should go with "#define
BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB". But then, I am getting below error:

main.obj:-1: error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class
boost::unit_test::test_suite * __cdecl init_unit_test_suite(int,char * *
const)" (?init_unit_test_suite@@YAPAVtest_suite_at_unit_test_at_boost@@HQAPAD_at_Z)
referenced in function _main

The above function is a part of
"libboost_unit_test_framework-vc100-mt-gd-1_56.lib".

I have written same unit tests using VS 2010 and with the same boost
libraries. The program worked properly with expected behavior.

What could be possibly going wrong with the usage of boost on QT ? Please
help !

-Thanks
