No description provided.

NACK, doesnt build:

Did you make clean first? It works fine here... :/

Nope, still happens if I make -f makefile.unix clean first

What boost version? I have 1.46.1

Not working for me, either on an ubuntu 64 VM:

U64:src gavin$ make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP= test_bitcoin

g++ -c -pthread -Wextra -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-char-subscripts -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wformat-security -g -DNOPCH -I/home/gavin/src/bitcoin/src -DUSE_SSL -fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector-all -Wstack-protector -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2 -MMD -o obj/test/base58_tests.o test/base58_tests.cpp

U64:src gavin$ make --version GNU Make 3.81

I have no idea why TESTDEFS isn't working, it looks like it aught to work...

IIRC you cant define a variable in a conditional in makefiles and have it work outside the conditional.

GNU Make 3.82 fixed some bugs... though not ones that I'd think affect this.

Compiles now, but it still doesnt have BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK defined, which I dont know if it will kill something, but Id say it should absolutely be there before merge (esp if this is going to be default). Nevermind, ACK, though not a bugfix.
