I thought I would have a go with your tap
The first time I did the brew install kicad --HEAD, it did take awhile
(I think it was the downloading of kicad - no progress messages
though). After the download, there was a file copy stage (seemed to
be..), but all of the file movements were conflicted with something
else on my disk - need to work that out.
On the second time - doing brew reinstall kicad --HEAD, your patch
file (the boost.patch) is not finding the file it needs to patch and
is failing.
Any guidance on what I might look for?

So I have been building using -DKICAD_SKIP_BOOST and linking to my
own system install of boost 1.57. This is also the strategy I use in
the homebrew tap for KiCad.
Thanks to the helpful replies from bleeding-edge enthusiasts on the
http://kicad.info forums, I discovered that this was a fatal mistake,
as the 'mysterious' (to me) minkowski patch was vital so boost's
handling of pointers doesn't make the push and shove router crash as
soon as you have to go around a corner.
The rest of the patches have been merged with boost 1.57, so I
modified the download_boost cmake module to use boost 1.57 and apply
only the minkowski patch to it. After that, I've been push and
shoving my heart out without a single issue! :D That router is
amazing, by the way. I had to stop and route half a board I've been
working on before I got around to making a proper branch.
I also cleaned up the mac sections a little and removed a bunch of
PPC binary checks that are no longer needed (The last version of OS X
to support PPC architectures was 10.5).
This change is only if the APPLE flag is set, it is isolated from the
other platforms. Oh, and it's agnostic to and works for an all
libc++ or all libstdc++ build of wxpython and boost (10.7-10.8 use
libstdc++, while 10.9+ uses libc++ I believe). I've made a branch
(~metacollin/kicad/boosting_boost) and merge request, but if anyone
has issue with this, let me know and I'll do what is needed to
address it. Thanks!
