Description

The build steps for the Windows port are missing make submodule. Build errors occur because micropython-lib (specifically the ssl module) isn't found if that command isn't executed.

(LinuxMint18)

downloaded the latest master version micropython. Following the instructions, I go to the directory:
$ cd ports/unix

I execute the command:
$ make submodules

And I get the error:

 $ make submodulesUse make V=1 or set BUILD_VERBOSE in your environment to increase build verbosity.
Updating submodules: lib/axtls lib/berkeley-db-1.xx lib/libffi
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
../../py/mkrules.mk:186: ошибка выполнения рецепта для цели «submodules»
make: *** [submodules] Ошибка 128

what could be the problem?
