cmake Error - singleapplication does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file

[ericghara]

• Linux-distro (kernel version): 6.1.28-gentoo
• Desktop Environment (KDE/GNOME etc.): kde
• Qt Version: 5.15.10
• KDiskMark Version: 3.1.4
• FIO Version: fio-3.34
• cmake version: 3.26.4

Description:

I get the following CMake error when trying to build from a cloned repo. I do not get this error when I download release 3.1.4 archive. This is a repeat of closed issue #105.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:40 (add_subdirectory):
  The source directory

    /home/eric/Downloads/KDiskMark/src/singleapplication

  does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file.

Steps To Reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark.git
cd KDiskMark/
git checkout 3.1.4
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

I faced the same issue on a debian box as well. I'll be honest I was hesitant to open this issue because it seems you are using a github action which essentially does what I did, and there was apparently no problem with the release... But nevertheless, it doesn't work on my boxes, so I am filing this. Thanks. I enjoyed the benchmark.

You must run two commands: git submodule init to initialize your local configuration file, and git submodule update to fetch all the data from that project and check out the appropriate commit listed in your superproject ... There is another way to do this which is a little simpler, however. If you pass --recurse-submodules to the git clone command, it will automatically initialize and update each submodule in the repository, including nested submodules if any of the submodules in the repository have submodules themselves.

Thank you, I should have noticed that .gitmodules. Cheers.
