Re: Call for update of avhttp because of boost 1.57

 

Going through your list of instructions for the new avhttp - good
instructions by the way.

On OSX, boost 1.54 (was on computer) and KICAD_SKIP_BOOST=OFF (this was
the setting)

Build went fast (no rebuild of boost..) Only a few warnings.

kicad executes. Clicking on pcbnew - also looks good. At the top of the
pcbnew window, it says: 2014-10-31 BZR 5247.

Hope this is what was expected

I will build the new boost 1.57 and test that.

Thank you everyone for testing this.  I verified that it works with
Boost 1.57 using KICAD_SKIP_BOOST=ON and our modified Boost 1.54 with
KICAD_SKIP_BOOST=OFF on windows.  The only unknown at this point is OSX.
  Would someone please test both Boost build options (stock 1.57 and our
custom 1.54) on OSX?  We have OSX builds in pretty good shape so I don't
want to break anything.  The process is fairly straight forward.

1) Down load the avhttp source zip file from
https://github.com/avplayer/avhttp/archive/master.zip
2) Copy the zip file to pcbnew/github/avhttp-master.zip.
3) Delete existing avhttp source folder .downloads-by-cmake/avhttp
4) Configure and build kicad against boost 1.57 using KICAD_SKIP_BOOST=ON.
5) Configure and build kicad against our custom boost 1.54 using
KICAD_SKIP_BOOST=OFF.

Once I have confirmation that this doesn't break the OSX build, I will
commit the latest avhttp source zip file.

Thanks,

Wayne

Yes, it also builds with kicad's boost and it fetches the footprints
form github without problems. So I would say it is safe to update.

I ran into the same compile error last night after a system update. I've
just compiled with the latest avhttp with both Boost 1.57, and the
patched 1.54 bundled with KiCad. I encountered no problems using either
-- cvpcb seems happy in both cases.
