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'.

Ouch. I wish I hadn't done it. Now I cannot compile my lib anymore. It looks like throw_exception uses BOOST_NORETURN, whose definition cannot be found. Where is BOOST_NORETURN supposed to be defined?

BOOST_NORETURN is defined by Boost.Config. You probably didn't update all submodules. Strange, I thought 'git submodule update --init' would do that.

I usually use these two commands to perform the complete Boost tree update:

git pull --recurse-submodules git submodule foreach git merge --ff-only

Note that the second command uses merge.defaultToUpstream = true setting so that I don't have to specify the branch. If you didn't set this parameter in your git config and you have all submodules checked out on a particular branch (e.g. master), you can modify the second command like this:

git submodule foreach git merge --ff-only origin/master

Thanks. This solved most of my problems. However, I observed that some links are just not created when I run `b2 headers`, no matter if I remove boost, re-run. I had to manually add a couple of links when compiling with `toolset=gcc`. When compiling with visual C++, I had to manually copy some folders: folder modular-boost\libs\preprocessor\include\boost\preprocessor\iteration\detail\ contents of modular-boost\libs\preprocessor\include\boost\preprocessor\slot folder modular-boost\libs\exception\include\boost\exception\detail Regards, &rzej
