Package: libboost-test1.34.1
Version: 1.34.1-14
Severity: normal
Following the directions at
file:///usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/libs/test/doc/components/utf/components/test_case/auto_register_facility.html
create foo.cc:
---------------------------------------
#define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test1){
BOOST_CHECK(1);
}
-----------------------------------
When I try to build:
$ g++ -o foo.out foo.cc -lboost_unit_test_framework
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.2/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Notes:
1. The test framework's documentation says documentation may not be current:
file:///usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML/libs/test/doc/index.html#ReleaseNotes
notes "I may not be able to make all necessary changes in
documentation within bounds of this release.". This was my best guess
about what was required. I have been able to use the framework in
earlier releases. The release notes do note substantial changes in
the unit tests, including automatic ones.
2. I have had earlier versions on the system; some are still there:

3. I am using gcc 4.3, which I think is the Lenny default. There does
not seem to be a gcc43 version above. Perhaps that is the problem?
(But it's hard to believe it would be unable to find the symbol for
main).
4.
nm -C /usr/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.a | grep main
finds an entry for main, but when done against the .so produces only a
"no symbols" warning. I don't know if it should do better.
5. I have pentium-builder installed, which puts a wrapper around g++.
Invoking g++-4.3 directly leads to the same results as above.

I added a note about Boost.Test main() function to 1.37.0-7, which
closes this bug.
