Why is my boards.txt file not being found?
I got a hack to work  (macOS) by symlinking the files to where ino expected them to be.  But now I'm running into this issue: https://github.com/amperka/ino/issues/149

FWIW:

cd /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources;
ln -s Java ../Java;
cd /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino;
ln -s boards.txt avr/boards.txt;


Did it for me as far as finding boards.txt goes.

Still Broken otherwise. (Not marking as answer)
