Seems that on ubuntu boost is multi-threading enable. Following line solve the problem : g++ -ohello -lboost_unit_test_framework-mt hello.cpp Did not see the previous answer.

The official documentation is WAY too heavy on (irrelevant) words, such as general chatter about why testing is a good thing and long elaborations on how things looked earlier in the framework, confusing the picture if you are just scanning for a specific piece of information.

I'm actually using it now, rather than getting more and more baffled in a mountain of technical specifications. This little introduction is better than any of the official Boost.Test documentation.

I was struggling a lot to find the boost testing framework and this is the only tutorial that helped me ( in all respects) so far. Thankyou very much.

Somehow this is all automatic with Visual Studio. By the way, thank you for this article, it gave me the BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK that I missed on Ubuntu 9.04 (I had an "undefined reference to: 'main'"). @Michael: I think that you have to link against a lib and provide its exact name because there are a lot of configurations available and G++ doesn’t know how to choose them.
