[ovs-discuss] Error in building Latest OVS in Fedora

[Radhakrishnan, Sharmila]

Hi All,
I did a fresh clone for OVS today on  Fedora21 machine(kernel - 3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64).

I configured it to
./configure --with-linux=/lib/modules/3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64/build

And when I ran ‘make’ I get the below error:

make[4]: Entering directory '/usr/src/kernels/3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64'
  CC [M]  /usr/src/ovs/datapath/linux/actions.o

How do I fix this error?

Thanks in Advance!
