As a couple of OSX devs have run into this issue i am going to document it here so that future people are able to find it...
The issue occurs during the "make install" phase of kicad on osx (hence this only affects devs not users) and will mention something about not being able to find @loader_path/libboost_<module>.dylib i have commonly seen this with libboost_chrono-mt.dylib This is due to how FindBoost.cmake is configured in that every new version of boost requires manual intervention to make it work again due to function(_Boost_COMPONENT_DEPENDENCIES component _ret) elseif(NOT Boost_VERSION VERSION_LESS 106100 AND Boost_VERSION VERSION_LESS 106200) elseif(NOT Boost_VERSION VERSION_LESS 106200 AND Boost_VERSION VERSION_LESS 106300) etc. The most recent version also has the AND and so it will not work for any future versions without an updated FindBoost.cmake script. As the release cycles for boost and cmake are not synced this typically leaves at least a month between boost release and the next cmake release fixing the FindBoost.cmake file As such there are a couple of ways to solve this issue. 1. Downgrade boost to a version that is older than the cmake release you are running (on brew this is a case of using $ brew switch boost <next older version you have installed (if you just updated discoverable through brew info)>) 2. Check cmake git master to see if the file has been updated and copy the changes into your system FindBoost.cmake (on brew /usr/local/opt/cmake/share/cmake/Modules/FindBoost.cmake) 3. Remove the AND in the FINAL elseif statement (not really recommended as may not be correct for the new version of boost) 4. install and use cmake HEAD in boost (there may still be a couple of day delay in the updated script but not nearly as bad as it is now) I have sent this updated information to the cmake mailing list (as i was unable to figure out the cause when i last experienced the issue back in jan so hopefully we may see some changes in getprereqs/bundle utilities in the future which may reduce the dependency on this issue) However that will be unlikely until at least cmake 3.8 so don't expect it to be the required cmake version any time soon.
