Depends how you build UTF:
1. Static library/"included" version
1.a. define BOOST_TEST_NO_MAIN during library/executable build
1.b. in your main file call unit_test_main():
if( /* call unit test */ )
return boost::unit_test::unit_test_main( argc, argv );
2. Dynamic library
2.a. define BOOST_TEST_NO_MAIN during library build
2.b. define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK during both library and executable build
2.c. In the file containing function main() include
<boost/test/unit_test.hpp> and define BOOST_TEST_MAIN
2.d. in your main file call unit_test_main():
if( /* call unit test */ )
return boost::unit_test::unit_test_main( &init_unit_test, argc,
argv );
