make otelcontribcol is now failing due to no Go files in ./cmd/otelcontribcol

What happened?

I was trying to build otelcontribcol using a make target otelcontribcol but it started failing after v0.111.0 because there are no Go files anymore in .cmd/otelcontribcol, is this some sort of a bug or is there any new way of building the project?

Thanks.

I am facing the same issue, let me know if you find something.

[EDIT - Mon Oct 7 09:42:34 UTC 2024] The following mentioned files are removed from cmd/otelcontribcol:

components.go
go.mod
go.sum

Maybe that's why it breaking.

Found the solution, before running make otelcontribcol, you need to run make genotelcontribcol

I can confirm that it worked yeah!

I think we should update the Makefile i.e. add genotelcontribcol step for both docker and binary targets, @mowies @atoulme @andrzej-stencel What are your thoughts on it? I can help with it, if you want.
