This is JP's code so he would have to see if the boost geometry library would work. I would be reluctant to replace it so close to the stable release without a lot of testing. > > I like the idea to split the boost from kicad building, linux users will > appreciate it ;) This has been on my todo list for a while. I will also be removing the AVHTTP and openssl library build stuff as well. I want our cmake code to build the kicad source only. All that other stuff should be maintained outside the project. > > Regards, > Mario Luzeiro > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
