Step 5 - Boost compilation issue

Everything up to Step 5 seems to build ok

./build.sh -a x86_64 -c 8 -d -s 5

I was having the exact same issue on my Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9.1 and clang. The problem is that Boost starting with version 1.53 has moved away from supporting the 32-bit address model for the context library. What I had to do was modify the project-config.jam file in _src/kicad/.downloads-by-cmake/boost_1_540/src/boost/project-config.jam to only generate code for the x86_64 architecture and 64-bit Boost address model. So changing,

using darwin ;

to

using clang : osx : xcrun clang -arch x86_64 -stdlib=libc++ -std=c++11 -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -fvisibility-inlines-hidden ;

to only build a 64-bit library. Then also changing,

project : default-build <toolset>darwin ;

to

project : default-build <toolset>clang-osx <address-model>64 ;

to only support the 64-bit address model so the context library will be supported/built.

This should resolve the Step 5 build error issue. I think the build.sh script should include a patch to the project-config.jam file including these changes if Boost 1.53+ is desirable for this project.

That got the build working for me, thanks!

Unfortunately the build is too broken on OS X to be usable. Canvas drawing is a bit messed up, full of ghost images. And the library table is empty/unmanageable.

Those were my same observations as well. Hopefully those issuses are being addresses (or will be addressed) to bring the OSX variant up to par.

Thanks all, I was looking forward to trying this out. But I wasn't ready to sit down and debug yet another bad build process for OSX.

Great thanks, this solution actually solved build issues with another project I have been trying to get up and running.
