qt5-5.12 - Why are all directories empty?

[kmiklas]

Howdy,

Cloned the following repo:
https://github.com/qt/qt5

- Why are all the sub-directories are empty?
- Do I have to clone each sub-repo (qtbase, etc.) separately?
- Is it possible to just get everything?

I need to build from source to support a custom dissector.

Thanks,
Keith

Qt is split into submodules so it is possible to only checkout those which you need.

See README.git in the top level directory

Cheers,

git clone --recursive may fix this
