When I switched to develop branch in the modular-boost and pulled, the libs/core/ directory was created but was empty. AFAIR this helped:

For those of you having problems with the updating ModularBoost. Not only Core was created, also ThrowException. So if directories of those submodules are empty you must update both:

git submodule update --init libs/core
git submodule update --init libs/throw_exception

Then to avoid problems remove the BOOST_ROOT/boost/ directory and run b2 headers again.

I now got:

../../../../boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:25:10: fatal error: 'boost/assert.hpp' file not found

which is in yet another module.

For those who have this too, the general thing to do is:

git submodule update --init

Quoted from boost mailing list:

I don't reach to get the last changes in libs/core after un update of
the whole boost repository and it modules

That should be 'git submodule update --init'

Does this mean that we should *always* add the --init when doing 'git submodule
update'?

I think that would be a safe thing to do.

And then indeed

remove the BOOST_ROOT/boost/ directory and run b2 headers again.
