Is this from the shipped tarball?

Does ./autogen.sh fix it?

It's a tar from release

Which, specific, tar, from which release? (Please copy and paste a link, we can't read your mind)

This sounds like one of the "source code" tarballs generated by Github, which are unusable for any project that uses submodules.

Please use the flatpak-builder-(something).tar.xz file listed under "Assets". This contains the complete source code.

Don't use the one labelled "Source code": this is generated by Github, and does not contain everything that's needed.

Unfortunately Github doesn't allow turning off display of its auto-generated archives. We would if we could.
