[make] No instructions to clone git submodules prior to using make

[chris-lansman]

Downloaded the latest source and attempted to compile on ubuntu 20.04, you receive this error
CXX src/util.cpp In file included from src/util.h:2, from src/util.cpp:1: src/types.h:2:10: fatal error: tc/types.h: No such file or directory 2 | #include <tc/types.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [makefile:130: src/util.o] Error 1

After spending an hour+ googling around this file as far as I can surmise no longer lives in the tc tool which is now part of the iproute2 package.

Please consider updating these dependencies or at least making a link or download available on where to get them from in order to compile the code.

I attempted to run your pre-compiled and it died trying to find old versions of GLIBC. Consider recompiling with a new version of Linux or specifying what you are running.

It's actually part of libtoolchain, I see it's missing from the build steps so i will just tell you here, and update it later.

The deps/ directory contains all the local dependencies required to build NSTool.
But they are git submodules, so when first cloning the source code you need to init the git submodules and clone them with these two commands:

git submodule init
git submodule update

The pre-compiled binaries are built using Github Actions, Ubuntu builds specifically use ubuntu-latest, so there's not much chance of it being built with a "newer" version of linux.

Instructions added to BUILDING.md in development-tip (0d248d1). This should be present in any release post 1.8.0

Released in NSTool v1.8.1
