Error while installing mininet with OVS version 2.11.0

[hossein61]

Hi
I got following errors while trying to install mininet with ovs version 2.11.0 using "-V 2.11.0" parameter.
how can I use mininet with this version of OVS?

check we can get kernel module names

Prepare dkms.conf from the dkms.conf.in template

We don't need the debian folder in there, just upstream sources...

rm -rf debian/openvswitch-datapath-dkms/usr/src/openvswitch-2.11.0/debian

We don't need the rhel stuff in there either

rm -rf debian/openvswitch-datapath-dkms/usr/src/openvswitch-2.11.0/rhel

And we should also clean useless license files, which are already

described in our debian/copyright anyway.

did you try installing libopenvswitch first?
