Chapter 3 Pointers on Using ClearCase Build Tools

This chapter presents some pointers on making best use of clearmake and omake.

Rational ClearCase includes two independent build programs, clearmake and omake. The sample build scenario that follows uses clearmake. However, both programs incorporate the major ClearCase build-related features, including configuration lookup, derived object sharing, and config record maintenance.

The omake program's strength lies primarily in its support for users who require compatibility with other build programs designed for personal computers, including Borland Make, Microsoft NMAKE, Intersolv Polymake, and OPUS Make.
