Ok, I'll try that to see if it's possible.

Anyway what is the minimum version number required for boost ? Because
as I see on kicad/INSTALL.txt it's 1.59 (in master and 6.0 branches),
but not sure that is still true. At least with 1.65 it's not building
anymore (as in Ubuntu 18.04)  and with 1.71 it's ok (as in Ubuntu
20.04).
