[QE-developers] Fails to use submodules

[Ye Luo]

That is intentional.
There is no reason to trust what you manually put in the external/XXX
submodule folder. Potential issues are file integrity. version consistency
with QE.
If you intend to use pre-built libraries, FOX_ROOT, DEVXLIB_ROOT,
WANNIER90_ROOT, MBD_ROOT are all available although those external packages
may have limitations if being built outside QE.
If your build machine doesn't have internet access. Use
initialize_external_repos.sh to initialize all the submodules on a machine
with internet before transfering over.

There is one thing not clear to me. You mentioned "re-clones" and "cloned
submodules", did you manually "git clone" these file? or how did you
manually created the files which later caused issues with CMake?
