[Bernhard Stegmaier <stegmaier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried to build against a stock trunk boost some while back (at least a couple of months), but that failed in KiCad itself because of some interface changes in boost… I don’t know if that was beyond 1.57 or things in KiCad have already been adapted.

If we would like to drop 1.54, somebody will have to carefully investigate if all the patches that are currently applied are still needed or not. The version I built against the boost trunk (without any patches, but after fixing compile errors in KiCad) did work at first glance.
I wanted to see if the new boost fixed a crash with P&S router back then which it didn’t, so I didn’t test any further…

Any plans on dropping the builtin boost? Or, maybe the other way round… any benefits (fixes?) using a new boost?
If so, it would be worth doing some investigation, I could try to find out...


Regards,
Bernhard
