./configure error: No working boost sleep implementation found #12591

OS: macOS 10.12.3 bitcoin v0.16.0 (master)

I have been following the instructions in build-osx.md to configure Bitcoin Core Build

Brew is up to date and all the recommended packages installed ./autogen.sh is successful but ./configure returns this error:

error: No working boost sleep implementation found

I have reviewed earlier disccusions of this very issue but I'm not able to fix this problem on my machine.

Can anybody help?

did you brew link boost before running configure?

@chromebanana Looks like you have brew installed in a custom directory? That's probably the issue, as boost is not the only dependency that can't be found. Have you tried passing the location of dependencies to ./configure ?

Closing for now, please re-open/followup if required.

@chromebanana I have the some problem, with some luck today, finally got ./configure finish without error with CXXFLAGS="-isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk"

YMMV.

@fanquake @reedho thanks for your help. My mac has actually died (2011 is a long time ago:( ) Going to continue bitcoin exploration on a Linux machine. Will return here if/when needed.

Cheers

Solution:

$brew unlink boost $brew link --overwrite boost@1.57 --force

// Used --force because boost is keg-only. /* Also used --overwrite so that over 1000 symlinks would be created and conflicting statements would be removed, compared to the normal link command (brew link boost@1.57 --force), which would, unfortunately, create only around 300-500 symlinks. */

A while back, i found the problem was caused by there are some .h files in /usr/local/include from package installed manually (or probably from old brew packages) clash with system's time* header files.

These kind of problem just disappear after i clean up the "Unexpected header files" from brew doctor output.

HTH.
