Boost test linking

Question

I want to use Boost test in my project.

I use cmake in my project so I wrote a simple CMakeList.txt for wrapping it:

You need to compile with -lboost_unit_test_framework, boost generates the main for you if you use the BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK so you need to tell the makefile to look for that main. Then you can compile using the following:

#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE LogManager                                   
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(LogManagerCase)                                   
{                                                                      
    BOOST_REQUIRE(true);                                               
    /*LogManager manager;                                              
    manager.Initialize();                                              
    manager.Deinitialize();*/                                          
}                                                                      
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()
