Hi, I can see that module Core is already available on branch Master. But when I try to pull the sources from GitHub (with 'git pull --rebase') it doesn't show up in my clone. Do I need to do anything to see it?
You need to run 'git submodule update --init' to initialize new submodules in the local copy. Also don't forget to recreate the links to headers by removing boost folder and running 'b2 headers'.
Is it really necessary to remove the boost folder before running 'b2 headers' in any situation ?
I found/got things in a muddle and deleting /boost was the only action that resolved the problem. It should not be necessary, but equally it *should not* cause trouble? This whole system is too complicated for its or our good ! But I fear it is the price of GIT :-( Paul PS Doesn't b2 headers get hard links unless 'run as administrator' on Windows for symlinks? --- Paul A.
