Dear all, I have cloned openvswitch into a private git repository and when compiling with make I get an error that the distribution is missing files in dist-hooks-git.
The error comes from this line in Makefile.am: (cd $(srcdir) && git ls-files) | grep -v '\.gitignore$$' | \ sort -u > all-gitfiles; Because in my case the grep statement, which I understand should filter out all files ignored in .gitignore, is not filtering anything. I am no expert on grep expressions, but I was wondering if this could be missing the -f modifier if what we want is to take the search expressions from a file. Any help is appreciated. I copy my .gitignore at the end of the mail.
