[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#425264: libboost-test-dev: Linking problem with the basic unit-test library

[Brian Sipos]

Package: libboost-test-dev
Version: 1.34.0-1
Severity: important

A test program I am using in an M4 script to look for the boost test 
library is as follows:
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>
int main() {
  return 0;
}

This program fails to link in the latest boost-test development package 
with the error:
/tmp/ccIn5vvz.o: In function 
`boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t::unit_test_log_t()':
foo.c:(.text._ZN5boost9unit_test15unit_test_log_tC1Ev[boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t::unit_test_log_t()]+0x1f): 
undefined reference to `vtable for boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t'
/tmp/ccIn5vvz.o: In function 
`boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t::~unit_test_log_t()':
foo.c:(.text._ZN5boost9unit_test15unit_test_log_tD1Ev[boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t::~unit_test_log_t()]+0xd): 
undefined reference to `vtable for boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t'

This problem occurs on locally-built boost-test packages as well.
