If you take a snapshot then the git submodule commands won't work. Generally we expect people will mostly either (a) take a release tarball, which has the submodule sources included or (b) clone from git, in which case the advice in the error message will work. Anyway, you've got to a working compile now, but that's why you ran into the problems you did, I think. thanks -- PMM
