kicad-4.0.2-r1 (with boost-1.61.0) - fatal error: boost/context/fcontext.hpp

[Jonas Stein]

Gentoo users found out, that KiCad will need changes to compile with boost 1.61.
We will force the package to use an older boost version. But this information might save some time for others too.
More details in the bugreport https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583640

I can confirm this issue on archlinux.

just so people don't have to go to the gentoo bug tracker to see what the issue actually appears to be

/var/tmp/portage/sci-electronics/kicad-4.0.2-r1/work/kicad-4.0.2/include/tool/coroutine.h:30:38: fatal error: boost/context/fcontext.hpp: No such file or directory
 #include <boost/context/fcontext.hpp>

[jean-pierre charras (jp-charras)]

fcontext.hpp has moved from boost/context/ to boost/context/detail.

If it is the only one change, the fix is very easy.
But I don't know if it is the case, and I cannot test boost 1.61

Can someone test if this is the only one change?

I'm looking into it now.
