My guess is that you should be using dynamic libraries in spite of the bundling issues.

I would also like to move all of the download_foo.cmake files into a separate kicad dependency library builder project and only use find_package() when building kicad. > > If there was a way to make a failed patch not kill the build, it would > be possible to cleanly step over this bump and possibly continue with a > successful build. > > Bob G > > On 11/12/2014 07:51 AM, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: >> You should build and install Boost 1.57 outside of kicad by following >> the boost build instructions of OSX and then configure the kicad build >> with KICAD_SKIP_BOOST=ON.
