Mac OSX Boost check macro error =============================== Credits by Nick http://stuffthingsandjunk.blogspot.com/2009/02/kicad-osx-nightlies-fixed.html The following files have to be patched to remove the check macro error on OSX build. This is also for Boost 1.40.0 ! This patch is added on revision 2033 (kicad/include/boost directory!) So if upgrading to new version apply this if you get the same error. See below snippets of the two files that have to be edit. Just subsitude check with check_ in both files. boost/ptr_container/detail/static_move_ptr.hpp ---------------------------------------------- % diff /temp/boost_1_37_0/boost/ptr_container/detail/static_move_ptr.hpp /temp/kicad-sources/boost/ptr_container/detail/static_move_ptr.hpp 154c155 < void check(const static_move_ptr& ptr) --- > void check_(const static_move_ptr& ptr) boost/detail/is_incrementable.hpp --------------------------------- % diff /temp/boost_1_37_0/boost/detail/is_incrementable.hpp /temp/kicad-sources/boost/detail/is_incrementable.hpp 68c68 < char (& check(tag) )[2]; --- > char (& check_(tag) )[2]; 71c71 < char check(T const&); --- > char check_(T const&); 81c81 < , value = sizeof(is_incrementable_::check(BOOST_comma(++x,0))) == 1 --- > , value = sizeof(is_incrementable_::check_(BOOST_comma(++x,0))) == > 1 92c92 < , value = sizeof(is_incrementable_::check(BOOST_comma(x++,0))) == 1 --- > , value = sizeof(is_incrementable_::check_(BOOST_comma(x++,0))) == > 1 The error was ------------- In file included from /temp/kicad-sources/boost_1_38_0/boost/ptr_container/detail/reversible_ptr_container.hpp:22In file included from /temp/kicad-sources/boost_1_38_0/boost/ptr_container/detail/reversible_ptr_container.hpp:22, from /temp/kicad-sources/boost_1_38_0/boost/ptr_container/ptr_sequence_adapter.hpp:20, from /temp/kicad-sources/boost_1_38_0/boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp:20, from /temp/kicad-sources/kicad/include/board_item_struct.h:9, from /temp/kicad-sources/kicad/include/pcbstruct.h:10, from /temp/kicad-sources/kicad/3d-viewer/3d_viewer.h:29, from /temp/kicad-sources/kicad/3d-viewer/3d_aux.cpp:23: /temp/kicad-sources/boost_1_38_0/boost/ptr_container/detail/static_move_ptr.hpp:154:50: error: macro "check" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1
