Compilation Error : undefined reference to `boost::this_thread::hidden::sleep_for #13182

Hi, I am trying to compile Bitcoin on Ubuntu 16 . I have installed correctly all the dependencies. the ./configure shows no errors, but when I run the make command :

CXXLD bitcoind libbitcoin_util.a(libbitcoin_util_a-utiltime.o): In function boost::this_thread::sleep_for(boost::chrono::duration<long, boost::ratio<1l, 1000000000l> > const&)': /usr/local/include/boost/thread/pthread/thread_data.hpp:258: undefined reference to boost::this_thread::hidden::sleep_for(timespec const&)' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:3712: recipe for target 'bitcoind' failed

Also when I run ./configure --with-boost=/usr/local it returns :

checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... yes configure: error: Could not find a version of the boost_thread library!

Try to clean your project: git clean -dxf (removes all your local changes!) autogen.sh ./configure make -j

If you still face the issue, please upload your config.log

It is still showing the same error during make

config.log

-with-boost-libdir=/usr/local/lib add that to configure line to try? This fedora or centos?

I am using Ubuntu 16. when I run the configure -with-boost-libdir=/usr/local/lib I get this error :

checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... yes configure: error: Could not find a version of the boost_thread library!

also same error when passing -with-boost-libdir=/usr/local/ .

boost is correctly installed, but there is a missing library, might it be something wrong with the boost version?

Is there any good tutorial to compile bitcoin on Ubuntu ?

@MaherBTA There are steps in ./doc/build-*.md. E.g. doc/build-unix.md

Also, you could just "fall back" to using depends if you encounter issues. Those are almost guaranteed to work. See the depends subfolder.

the issue was with boost. Bitcoin compilation works only with boost 1.64 not even another version. I tested like 5 boost versions . only the 1.64 worked for me. also installing boost with appitute will install the wrong version. Remark : in the dependencies.md the boost 1.64 href is linking to the 1.67 version.
