Description
Hello LibGit2Sharp.NativeBinaries Team,
v2.0.322 native binaries for Ubuntu Jammy is not available on Ubuntu Lunchpad although present for newer Ubuntu versions so I am trying to build one from the source. My use case for the library is a Visual Studio Extension whose tests are run within a docker container. The .so and other libraries are needed within the container for the tests to run.
Now I downloaded the v2.0.322 archive, unpacked it and ran build.libgit2.sh. Note that instructions in the READ.ME advice to use dockerbuild.sh but I need use the former because I shall be building the library also in the docker during container creation.
After running build.libgit2.sh, I get the error. Please help.
CMake Warning:
Ignoring extra path from command line:
".."
The source directory "some/known/path" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.**

Research direction
Start with build.libgit2.sh in the v2.0.322 archive and compare its CMake invocation with the README instructions and dockerbuild.sh. Reproduce the failure in the Ubuntu 22.04 environment; done means the script locates the source directory correctly and builds the required native libraries without the CMakeLists.txt error.
