Jeff's forum issue is a compiler failure in qa_kicad2step, not linking 
in qa_sexpr. I don't think it's related to this.

Do *any* unit tests build? I don't see "-lboost_unit_test_framework 
-lboost_filesystem -lboost_system" in there, and it should be. Does 
CMake have the right paths? For me, it is like this:


Boost_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.so

Sadly Arch hasn't got Boost 1.70 yet, so it's a bit tricky to test.

Cheers,
