cmake fails because all "deps" subfolders are empty

[rfringuello89]

It is not possible to build RetDec because all "deps" subfolders are empty.

Steps:

• cd /opt/Programs/retdec/retdec/ (sources root)
• mkdir build && cd build
• cmake ../

Output:

-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 6.3.1
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info

-- Setting build type to 'Release' as none was specified.

Hi. As stated in Build and Installation, you need to clone the repository recursively to get the contents of all submodules, which contain the CMakeLists.txt files that you are currently missing:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/avast-tl/retdec

If you have already cloned the repository, you can just run

git submodule update --init --recursive

I am closing this as a duplicate of #4 and #68.
