Just forget tryting to build the old stable version (bzr rev around 4022 to 4029). Go and spend your time one making sure you can build the latest in product and be happy. You are on debian testing afterall (I think).
We should soon see a release candidate for the next stable, https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg20227.html And yes, that version that fedora is using is basically the development version, which I also advise debian to use untill we get the next release out. Also the official PPA is now skipping the boost build and the first builds that pass on ubuntu 15.10 is passing on https://code.launchpad.net/~js-reynaud/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-kicad/+build/7890601 2015-09-09 18:02 GMT+02:00 Graham Inggs <gin...@debian.org>: > Hi > >> Nick Østergaard [2015-08-13 16:24 +0200]: >> > You can use the cmake option -DKICAD_SKIP_BOOST=ON to fix this issue. >> > Make sure this only happens for systems with boost version above 1.54. > > The -DKICAD_SKIP_BOOST=ON option doesn't work in the kicad stable branch > (bzr4029) currently in Debian and Ubuntu. > > CMake Warning: > Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: > > KICAD_SKIP_BOOST > > I made the following change to CMakeLists.txt and also removed > include/boost/ : > > --- a/CMakeLists.txt > +++ b/CMakeLists.txt > @@ -285,8 +285,8 @@ > # kicad now includes needed boost files. > # the two next lines can be uncommented to use the native boost lib. > # but this is not a good idea > -#find_package(Boost 1.36 QUIET) > -#check_find_package_result(Boost_FOUND "Boost") > +find_package(Boost 1.36 QUIET) > +check_find_package_result(Boost_FOUND "Boost") > > ########################## > # Find wxWidgets library # > > ...and still I am getting tons of errors like the following: > > In file included from /usr/include/c++/5/list:63:0, > from /usr/include/boost/polygon/isotropy.hpp:20, > from /usr/include/boost/polygon/polygon.hpp:12, > from > /«BUILDDIR»/kicad-0.20141025+bzr4029/common/../polygon/polygons_defs.h:9, > from > /«BUILDDIR»/kicad-0.20141025+bzr4029/common/../polygon/PolyLine.h:23, > from > /«BUILDDIR»/kicad-0.20141025+bzr4029/common/../pcbnew/class_pad.h:37, > from > /«BUILDDIR»/kicad-0.20141025+bzr4029/common/footprint_info.cpp:22: > /usr/include/c++/5/bits/stl_list.h:1807:22: error: reference to 'list' is > ambiguous > operator==(const list<_Tp, _Alloc>& __x, const list<_Tp, _Alloc>& __y) > >> This worked well, thank you!
