Re: [Quantlib-dev] Issues with test suite on old QuantLib version

Hi,
    it's not a linking problem, it's a constraint of the Boost test
framework.  Older versions allowed different tests to have the same name,
and we had a few of those in QuantLib.  Since Boost 1.67 (which came out 7
years ago), that's no longer possible and we had to change those names.
This was fixed shortly afterwards in version 1.12.1.

If you can't upgrade at least to that version of QuantLib, you have two
possibilities.  You can downgrade Boost to 1.66.0 and build with that, or
you can backport the fixes in <
https://github.com/lballabio/QuantLib/pull/446> to your version of QuantLib.

Hope this helps,
    Luigi
