To build and test with boost_1_57, my process may be different..

I went into ~/KiCad/kicad/CMakeModules
and changed in the file download_boost.cmake
the first 54 to 57 - all of the other 54s are in comments

Then went to ~/KiCad/kicad/kicad and did 'make 2&1 | tee make.out'
The boost 1.57 was downloaded and then failed on the hash check verify step.

I then went deeper into download_boost.cmake and changed the check line to:
set( BOOST_MD5 1be49befbdd9a5ce9def2983ba3e7b76 ) ..

Then doing the make step over again, it was smart enough not to download
boost again
and it was successful on the verify step, but then it started to patch
and failed.

I have gone down several blind holes on this, but the build fails every
time.
(Need to go and peel the garlics now)

---

In directory ~/KiCad/kicad/kicad, in file CMakeCache.txt

Change line 'KICAD_SKIP_BOOST:BOOL=OFF'
to KICAD_SKIP_BOOST:BOOL=ON

Although it seems that on the first build of Boost,
KICAD_SKIP_BOOST:BOOL should equal OFF (do not skip)
After Boost has been (successfully) built, then the
KICAD_SKIP_BOOST:BOOL can be set to ON (skip..)
I may be wrong about this.
