BUG: docker build on windows fails; need eol=lf in .gitattributes

[pwm1234-sri]

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

``python -m pip install -ve . --no-build-isolation --config-settings editable-verbose=true`` fails when run in a docker container on a windows host.

Issue Description

I followed Option 3 Using Docker instructions to set up a pandas build environment. When I ran the pip install command in my container on a windows host, the build failed because generate_version.py has CRLF line endings. (I checked, my ~/.gitconfig and it has autocrlf=false.) But CRLF line endings are not allowed in a shebang script. When I added eol=lf to line 1 of .gitattributes the problem went away. So, I think line 1 of .gitattributes should be

* text=auto eol=lf

Expected Behavior

For python -m pip install -ve . --no-build-isolation --config-settings editable-verbose=true to succeed.

Installed Versions

2.2.2

Thanks for the report! There's an open issue to track bug reports related to meson in #49683, could you report there instead?

I also have had that issue when building using Docker on Windows and have posted there.

Yes, this looks to be the exact same error as you mention in #49683 (comment). Since there is already this link that shows up, is there anything else I should do?
