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.
