Platform Arch Linux

Summary When following build instructions on the website (https://www.olivevideoeditor.org/compile.php), cmake failed because it couldn't find CMakeLists in olive/core/ext. It turns out that that is a submodule, so the instruction to:

git clone https://github.com/olive-editor/olive

Should be replaced with:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/olive-editor/olive

Additional Information / Output

CMake Error at ext/CMakeLists.txt:17 (add_subdirectory):
  The source directory

    /home/dennis/repos1/olive/ext/core

  does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file.
