I did a test build on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 (amd64) that I had lying
around. It seems to work ok:

  cmake -DKICAD_SKIP_BOOST=YES -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/knielsen/kicad ../

This was from newest Git (Bzr 6372, Git 5d429ed).

The build succeeds, and KiCAD seems to run ok (schematics, pcbnew,
3d-viewer, ...). So removing bundled boost seems ok from Ubuntu 14.04
perspective.

To get it to build, I had to install libwx 3.0.2 and GLM 0.9.6.3 from
source, since Ubuntu had too old versions. I used this to install remaining
dependencies:

  sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake checkinstall doxygen zlib1g-dev libwebkitgtk-dev libglew-dev libcairo2-dev libbz2-dev libssl-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libopenvg1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev libwebkitgtk-dev libboost-all-dev

I did have one issue with GLM, which should be unrelated to boost. I
installed GLM in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, and cmake finds it:

  -- Found GLM: /home/knielsen/kicad/include (found suitable version "0.9.6.3", minimum required is "0.9.5.4") 

But the build still fails, it looks like cmake did not add the required -I
option for the path it found:

cd /home/knielsen/kicad/kicad-source-mirror/build/3d-viewer && /usr/bin/c++   -DHAVE_STDINT_H -DKICAD_KEEPCASE -DPCBNEW -DUSE_OPENMP -DWXUSINGDLL -DWX_COMPATIBILITY -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__WXGTK__ -Wall  -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -Wno-unused-local-typedefs -Wno-strict-aliasing -fopenmp -pthread -O3 -DNDEBUG -DNDEBUG -fPIC -I/home/knielsen/kicad/kicad-source-mirror/include -I/home/knielsen/kicad/kicad-source-mirror/3d-viewer/. -isystem /home/knielsen/kicad/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-3.0 -isystem /home/knielsen/kicad/include/wx-3.0 -I/home/knielsen/kicad/kicad-source-mirror/3d-viewer/textures -I/home/knielsen/kicad/kicad-source-mirror/3d-viewer/../pcbnew -I/home/knielsen/kicad/kicad-source-mirror/3d-viewer/../polygon -I/home/knielsen/kicad/kicad-source-mirror/build    -o CMakeFiles/3d-viewer.dir/dialogs/dialog_3D_view_option.cpp.o -c /home/knielsen/kicad/kicad-source-mirror/3d-viewer/dialogs/dialog_3D_view_option.cpp

/home/knielsen/kicad/kicad-source-mirror/3d-viewer/./3d_material.h:35:23: fatal error: glm/glm.hpp: No such file or directory

I fixed it with a quick hack (ln -s ../glm ~/kicad/include/wx-3.0/), as I
was too lazy to look up how to pass extra -I options with cmake. I should
probably try to come up with a small patch to make cmake add the required -I
automatically for GLM.

Hope this helps, let me know if there is anything further that needs
testing.
