Hi Aliasgar,

There's something odd with this patch. I am not able to compile when I
apply this patch. I get the below error

**************
cd . && /bin/sh /home/nusiddiq/workspace_cpp/ovn-org/ovn/build-aux/missing
automake-1.16 --foreign Makefile
 cd . && /bin/sh ./config.status Makefile depfiles
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: error: in `/home/nusiddiq/workspace_cpp/ovn-org/ovn':
config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments
    for automatic dependency tracking.  Try re-running configure with the
    '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
    the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).
See `config.log' for more details
make: *** [Makefile:1763: Makefile] Error 1

************************

Thanks
Numan

Hi Aliasgar,

It seems this patch has some issues with the Makefile syntax.

See:

Ah I see, the issue is in syntax of automake.mk due to rebase with checkpatch.py:

Hi Aliasgar,

There's something odd with this patch. I am not able to compile when I apply this patch. I get the below error

**************

    for automatic dependency tracking.  Try re-running configure with the
    '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
    the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).
See `config.log' for more details
