Polybar: cmake error

[imnoone22]

I am using Antergos with i3wm, all dependencies installed but when I try to compile I get the errors:

Part of the issue looks like you didn't clone with the --recursive flag set. Try removing the project folder and then clone it all back in with --recursive. This will fetch all of the needed files from the linked repositories.

This worked for me. Thanks @naviabbot.

Closing as the issue appears to be resolved.
