| Boost Test Library components provide several usage variants: to create a test program you can |
| link with the one of the precompiled library variants or use single-header variant. For example, to use Unit Test |
| Framework you may either include the <<a href="../../../../boost/test/unit_test.hpp" target="_top"><code class="filename">boost/test/unit_test.hpp</code></a>> |
| and link with libunit_test_framework.lib or you can include <<a href="../../../../boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp" target="_top"><code class="filename">boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp</code></a>> |
| , in which case you should not need to link with any precompiled component. Note also that |
| you should strictly follow specification on initialization function in other case some compilers may produce linker |
| error like this. |
| </p> |
| <code class="computeroutput">Unresolved external init_unit_test_suite(int, char**).</code><p class="first-line-indented"> |
| The reason for this error is that in your implementation you should specify second argument of |
| init_unit_test_suite exactly as in the specification, i.e.: char* []. |
