Hey, I'm not bad with computers but not a developer at all. I really want to use the app from this GitHub page.

The problem is that the creator hasn't published a release yet so I have to compile it myself. When I hit build in Xcode it immediately shows a number of errors. How can I fix them and get it to build?

Please excuse me very much for asking such a noob question but please help me guys. You would make somebody very happy.

Thanks very much for your help in advance!

The missing files are found in a couple of Git submodules which don’t seem to get cloned if you use GitHub’s Open with Xcode or Download ZIP options, or a normal git clone command. It works if you use git clone --recursive like this:

$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:macmade/QEMU-Manager.git
