Hmm, following the 'Get Started..' script, when I get to the CvPCB step,
I click on that icon, I get a dialog window showing a problem - unable
to parse and it has undefined KIGITHUB symbols on the error lines.
This error window is taller than my screen. The only exit is a Force
Quit from the Apple menu.
Since this is a double-click application, I need to define those
environment variables.

OK, manually adding the soft link to the /Applications folder does the
trick there (although a funny Terminal window opens up too - that
never happened before).
When I click on the eeschema button on the Kicad screen, it
successfully finds that sub-application.
Much better now.
I will try to actually do something with it - libraries and
documentation - all that good stuff.

The build seemed to go fine. With the -vd option, Clang compile

There may have been some changes that reduced the number of compiler
warnings and notes - from thousands down to hundreds now. Running the
bzr install -vd kicad --HEAD in a terminal, after the process is
complete, it is possible to 'select all' the whole contents of the
Terminal session and then paste it into a file. I ran the
warning-histo.rb program on this file.
Some Problems:
It did not soft link the kicad executable to my /Applications
directory - possibly because there was already a soft link there.
Also, clicking on the eeschema button did not bring up that plugin -
gave an error that it could not find it. It seemed to be looking in
the kicad.app/Contents/Plugins directory, but all the sub-apps appear
in Contents/Applications.
I noticed that recent updates - 5397 had appeared in the bzr kicad
download, but the bzr number didn't get copied to the Help -> Copy
Version Information - that spot is occupied by 'unknown'
The build was done to a directory within ~/tmp - I wonder if I can
get back to that build, so I don't have to do over some of the more
time consuming pieces.
A work in progress..

Redoing the brew install -vd kicad --HEAD step
I'm wondering if it will stumble on the patch of boost..
Waiting, waiting

I'm going through with:
brew install -vd kicad --HEAD
The -vd option gives some visibility on what is happening.
If it has a problem, it halts with a request for user choice. I have
chosen option 2 a few times so far and it is moving ahead (without
patches though..)'
I will report how it ends up.

I thought I would have a go with your tap
The first time I did the brew install kicad --HEAD, it did take
awhile (I think it was the downloading of kicad - no progress
messages though). After the download, there was a file copy stage
(seemed to be..), but all of the file movements were conflicted
with something else on my disk - need to work that out.
On the second time - doing brew reinstall kicad --HEAD, your patch
file (the boost.patch) is not finding the file it needs to patch
and is failing.
Any guidance on what I might look for?

On newer versions of OS X (maybe only Yosemite), building fails
(and running a binary build on another, earlier system will crash
on yosemite) if boost 1.54 is used, if I recall, it was something
about this combo that made wxPython displeased and stop working.
So I have been building using -DKICAD_SKIP_BOOST and linking to my
own system install of boost 1.57. This is also the strategy I use
in the homebrew tap for KiCad.
Thanks to the helpful replies from bleeding-edge enthusiasts on
the http://kicad.info forums, I discovered that this was a fatal
mistake, as the 'mysterious' (to me) minkowski patch was vital so
boost's handling of pointers doesn't make the push and shove
router crash as soon as you have to go around a corner.
The rest of the patches have been merged with boost 1.57, so I
modified the download_boost cmake module to use boost 1.57 and
apply only the minkowski patch to it. After that, I've been push
and shoving my heart out without a single issue! :D That router is
amazing, by the way. I had to stop and route half a board I've
been working on before I got around to making a proper branch.
I also cleaned up the mac sections a little and removed a bunch of
PPC binary checks that are no longer needed (The last version of
OS X to support PPC architectures was 10.5).
This change is only if the APPLE flag is set, it is isolated from
the other platforms. Oh, and it's agnostic to and works for an
all libc++ or all libstdc++ build of wxpython and boost (10.7-10.8
use libstdc++, while 10.9+ uses libc++ I believe). I've made a
branch (~metacollin/kicad/boosting_boost) and merge request, but
if anyone has issue with this, let me know and I'll do what is
needed to address it. Thanks!
