We use Boost statically linked with our app but now I want to use Boost Test with an external test runner and that requires the tests themselves to link dynamically with Boost.Test through the use of the required BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK define.
Is this going to be a problem or is the way Boost Test links completely unrelated to the way the other Boost libraries are linked?
I believe Boost Test does not depend on any other compiled libraries, so dynamically linking it while statically linking the other Boost libraries should not be a problem. Our linking rules don’t show any dependency of Boost Test on anything other than headers, nor do the rules in the boost.jam file (though the latter is out of date).
