The command needed to fix the issue is included in the error message:
git submodule update --init --recursive

Do you have any success using the official link release instead of the one you used? https://znc.in/releases/znc-1.7.0.tar.gz

That's because you downloaded a tarball of the contents of the repo, and to use that git command, you need to have cloned the repo

Tarball with github repo doesn't include files from git submodules.

Would something like this make it more clear?
