Below is the output of "make sandbox" from the time when I typed "make sandbox SANDBOXFLAGS="--ovn". Do I need to turn on some other flag also to make it more verbose.

mqureshi at vmexa-mqureshi:~/ovs$ make sandbox SANDBOXFLAGS="--ovn"

----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are running in a dummy Open vSwitch environment.  You can use
ovs-vsctl, ovs-ofctl, ovs-appctl, and other tools to work with the
dummy switch.

This environment also has the OVN daemons and databases enabled.
You can use ovn-nbctl and ovn-sbctl to interact with the OVN databases.

Log files, pidfiles, and the configuration database are in the
"sandbox" subdirectory.

Exit the shell to kill the running daemons.

You need to run "make sandbox" as shown in the presentation. It doesn't matter if you run just "make" first. 

I noticed if I copied and pasted from those slides it didn't work properly because the quotes were stylized and not standard. However since you still haven't shown the output that I've requested a couple of times, I can't say for sure.
