I'm trying to compile on debian, freshly installed. This is the output from uname: Linux machine 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 i686 GNU/Linux

I'm stuck at ./configure...

git pull https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin ./autogen.sh ./configure --without-miniupnpc --disable-wallet

THESE ARE LAST LINES OF THE OUTPUT FROM ./configure: checking for visibility attribute... yes checking whether C++ compiler accepts -fvisibility=hidden... yes checking for boostlib >= 1.20.0... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.20 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.

Do you have boost installed?

Could be that I don't ... which package exactly? "libboost1.42-all-dev"?

Please follow the documentation: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md

That will pull in more than you need, but will work.

I was going step by step but didn't install "libboost-all-dev" as it says for ubuntu 12.04 and later.. That's a little ambiguous to me.. but thanks, I think it will compile now.

Feel free to submit an improvement for the documentation if it's unclear :)

Same under Ubuntu Trusty. Solved the OP specific message by installing libboost-thread-dev package (also included as a dependency for libboost-all-dev)

RTFM doc/build-unix.md:

    sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev

After installing all the libboost and other dependencies It still failed to compile. I needed to install libstdc++6-4.7-dev as well, as it stated in the config.log

I download boost_1_37_0 and set BOOST_ROOT=/path/to/boost_1_37_0 and still got this error
fanquake commented at 11:49 AM on January 9, 2018: member

Boost 1.37.0 is too old to use to compile Core. You need at least Boost 1.47.0. Also, please don’t bump 3yr old issues.

1.47 worked for me.

but then it report: No working boost sleep implementation found

I've done
```
sudo su
./bootstrap.sh
./bjam install
```
but it still report error.

You can build all dependencies in depends (comes with doc)
