linux : make boost work with Qt Creator (undefined reference) - c++

Question

I've been trying to make boost work with my current IDE : Qt Creator. I've done everything that's written in this topic : Boost with Qt Creator and Linux and many others, but I still have this error :
/usr/include/boost/test/unit_test_suite.hpp:228: erreur : undefined reference to `boost::unit_test::framework::master_test_suite()'
and many others that follow
my base code is this one :
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE MyTest
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( my_test )
{
BOOST_CHECK( true );
}
which I got from this small tutorial : http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/test/doc/html/tutorials/hello-the-testing-world.html
My .pro looks like this :
QT += testlib
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11
OTHER_FILES += \
...
SOURCES += \
...
HEADERS += \
...
LIBS += \
-lboost_system
with files instead of "..."
I've done the
sudo apt-get libboost-all-dev
For information, I'm using Qt Creator 3.6.0 and Qt 5.5.1 on kubuntu 14.04 LTS
What should I do ? I hope to find an answer
Thanks in advance and tell me if I forgot to mention something

Answer 1

Thanks #cv_and_me for the answer :
The error was that I was not including the good library.
LIBS += \
-lboost_system
should be replaced by
LIBS += \
-lboost_unit_test_framework
I made the error to belive that boost was only for unit testing, but it could do a lot more, so we have to add the right part of boost that we will be using (in my case, the unit testing framework).
(for people at the same stage than this post, I then used this tutorial for making a good project structure, separating unit tests and the app : http://dragly.org/2014/03/13/new-project-structure-for-projects-in-qt-creator-with-unit-tests/)
