"make" gives a checksum error on boost:

The issue here is that Sourceforge doesn't respond with the file itself but with a static html page that contains a redirect to another site but in a way that curl won't follow.

I have explained it more in detail on Cocoapod-Repo where the same issue happens: CocoaPods/CocoaPods#7376

My suggestion is to switch back from Sourceforge to their Github repository and their specific releases-section: https://github.com/boostorg/boost/releases/tag/boost-1.62.0
