You do not have to install boost: the boost headers used by Kicad are 
included in Kicad sources.

For my info, what is the interest about using Code::Blocks for Kicad ?
Kicad comes with Cmake makefiles and needs only cmake (and mingw/msys of 
course) to be built.
Using only cmake and mingw/msys (which includes gcc) helps compatibility 
with other platforms, which all have cmake and gcc available.
The less platform specific, the best.
