Unable to compile from source

This seems to be consistent with all releases including HEAD.

$ ./autogen.sh

automake --add-missing --foreign failed, exiting...

This results in no configure script. What is the recommended way to compile from source?

When cloning from git, make sure to use --recursive option or init submodules after cloning.

@falkTX: Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, I noticed the instructions were located at https://jackaudio.org/downloads/. Would it make sense to include a How to build from source section in the README.md of this project?

pull requests welcome :)

but working with git submodule is something that should be standard by this point tbh...
