Hi Adam

I was able to compile and execute kicad using your build files, but I 
have some questions

   Application: kicad
   Version: (2015-03-17 BZR 5524)-product Release build
   wxWidgets: Version 3.0.2 (debug,UTF-8,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,GCC
   4.2.1,STL containers,compatible with 2.8)
   Platform: Mac OS X (Darwin 14.1.0 x86_64), 64 bit, Little endian, wxMac
   Boost version: 1.57.0
             USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF
             USE_WX_OVERLAY=ON
             KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON
             KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON
             KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON
             USE_FP_LIB_TABLE=HARD_CODED_ON
             BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON
             KICAD_USE_WEBKIT=OFF


The odd thing about this is that it reports using Boost 1.57.0, but not 
the 1.54.0 which it downloaded, patched (successfully) and built.

I probably have a few boost libraries lying around on my disk. I think 
even brew downloaded a bottle with Boost 1.57.0. If the label above is 
accessed by a utility, perhaps it picked up the wrong label.

------

I was able to run the main KiCad and eeSchema, but when I clicked on the 
icons for pcbnew (I clicked on both the main page icon and the 2nd from 
right at the top on eeSchema - same results), it crashed.


Crash of pcbnew when opened - console output

Some excerpts from the build log files - may not have any bearing on the 
problem though. Does seem to indicate that boost 1.54.0 is being used.

The copy/paste below shows some possible problems.

I see your nightlies have been delayed - are you also having build problems?

Hope this helps
