SU2 not getting all external dependencies

Describe the bug
This might be linked to issue #2086
I am building SU2 with both Terminal and using a build system called EasyBuild.
On terminal everything went seamlessly. The issue is on EasyBuild. The meson configs are not pulling in the external files. I had to clone it recursively.

None of the following options were activated in my tests, so the external files should have been added

--no-codi         do not download own copy of CoDiPack
  --no-medi         do not download own copy of MeDiPack
  --no-opdi         do not download own copy of OpDiLib
  --no-mpp          do not download own copy of Mutationpp
  --no-coolprop     do not download own copy of CoolProp
  --no-mel          do not download own copy of MEL
  --no-mlpcpp       do not download copy of MLpCpp

If you want to use the packages provided by that build system use the --no-* options and point to the packaged provided by the build system.
