Hi Adam,

do you still have issues with your builds? I only had one minor glitch today while doing a test build of r5668 to check out Orsons latest OSX fixes.

At first, I had forgotten to set KICAD_SKIP_BOOST as I usually do since I have boost installed via Homebrew. So boost 1.54 got compiled during building. However, the final application was nonetheless linked against my Homebrew boost, causing an immediate crash of Pcbnew. I spotted the error as the version information dialog said “Boost 1.58”, so I tried rebuilding with KICAD_SKIP_BOOST, and everything was fine. (The test build was without scripting support. I am not sure if your build issues were only with scripting activated? I could try that again tomorrow.).

I can only speak for the 10.10 people, as I don’t have machines running lower versions anymore. But perhaps it is necessary to increase the minimum OSX version to 10.8 in the near future. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion , 10.7 is officially (?) “Unsupported as of about October 2014”. I have seen that other popular open source software (e.g. LibreOffice) already ship only for 10.8+. And, I just looked up my SDK directory inside XCode (which also got updated today), it only contains SDKs for 10.9 and 10.10…

I could offer to do a clean rebuild with most of your settings (except for 10.9 instead of 10.7) tomorrow to see if it finishes. But I have no means to test the build on a 10.9 machine.


Best,

Johannes

For a year or so now, XCode no longer includes the 10.7 sysroot, and I have to copy from an older XCode.  It is possible changes in the latest XCode make that not a valid workaround.
