Error compiling on Mageia 9

[xgrind]

Even after installing all dependencies, I still get this error.
The lib64purple-devel package is already installed.

[michael@desktop build (master)]$ cmake ..
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:25 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindPurple.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Purple", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Purple" with any
  of the following names:

    PurpleConfig.cmake
    purple-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Purple" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Purple_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Purple"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

This usually happens when git submodule update --init was not executed after git clone.

In case you are building from a downloaded .zip file, you also need to download https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-cmake-template and configure purple-gowhatsapp manually via Purple_DIR. This approach is flaky and therefore not recommended.
