[O] org build/git problems

[Rustom Mody]

Ive been having problems with odt export which seem to be related to build issues which seem to be related to git issues.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/74409

In more detail:
http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-build-system.html
says that the build structure includes (among other makefiles) these
---------------------------------------
<org-mode>/doc/Makefile
<org-mode>/etc/Makefile
<org-mode>/lisp/Makefile
---------------------------------------
However on my system I 'find' as follows
---------------------------------------
$ find . -iname makefile
./lisp/Makefile


./Makefile
---------------------------------------
ie there are NO makefiles in etc doc etc. Only in lisp.

So I conclude that the etc make which is needed to setup the odt export paths is not happening and so odt-export is barfing.


So where are the makefiles?

Running git status I get the following which among other things shows the makefiles from doc and etc as deleted.
I am too much of a git noob to know what next!!
