OK, so I installed boost from MacPorts as I do with the other dependencies. Just a simple “sudo port install boost” which did install boost 1.56 using shared libraries and multithreaded libs (these are the default variants set by MacPorts). As far as I can see MacPorts applies some patches, but it seems to be only stuff related to building boost. If anybody is interested… current patches are here: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/boost/files <https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/boost/files>
For building KiCad I just used the usual cmake configuration (non-scripting build) with -DKICAD_SKIP_BOOST=ON. It automatically found boost, built fine, and all binaries seem to start and work doing a quick check. All boost .dylibs correctly get copied into the bundle. And yes, I also updated avhttp.
