It looks like you compiling with an older version of boost. sleep_for was introduces in boost 1.5.0. If you use brew, check brew info boost and eventually upgrade brew upgrade boost.

@jonasschnelli

Hmm... try do ./autogen.sh and ./configure again, then make clean make again. If you still encounter the issue, pastebin you config.log.

What Bitcoin Core version you are trying to compile?

---snip
configure:25100: checking for boostlib >= 1.20.0

Master does a check agains 1.47.0 define(MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BOOST, 1.47.0).

Just compiled 0.12.1 on my OSX 10.12 system. Works fine. Try to reinstall boost brew remove boost, brew install boost. Then

./configure
make clean
make

@jonasschnelli

still now it seems fine.

The console showed after running make check
