Basic build recipe doesn't work

[NekiMedo]

Hi,
running CMake as described on the main page ends with error:

...
-- Detecting CXX compile features - done
-- llvm-config executable found: /usr/bin/llvm-config

CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:144 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    rct/rct.cmake

There's no such file in the checkout:

$ find -name "rct*"
./src/rct

Any hints how to proceed?

an update .... building from the release tarball works better

[alanbarr]

Did you make sure to pull in the submodule before building?
e.g:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Its easy to miss the --recursive argument in the quickstart steps.

don't remember anymore but guess that was the case; managed to build it from a release tarball so all is well;
