3.1 Running omake or clearmake

Typically, you run omake or clearmake from a dynamic view context using the following procedure:

1. Set a view context by assigning a drive to a dynamic view (in Windows Explorer, click Tools > Map Network Drive or run the net use command) and then changing to that view:

C:\> net use F: \\view\myview
C:\> F:
F:\>

2. Change to the appropriate directory and run omake or clearmake:

F:\> cd myvob\src

(\Q\myvob' is the VOB-tag)

F:\myvob\src> omake options

or

F:\myvob\src> clearmake options

A view context prevents VOB pathnames from being dependent on the view the build occurs in. From F:, you and your makefiles can access versioned objects with non-view-extended, absolute VOB pathnames like \vob2\src\main.c in either cleartool subcommands or standard operating system commands. If you work directly on drive M, in view-extended namespace, full pathnames to VOB objects include a view-specific prefix, which affects configuration lookup so as to prevent DO sharing between views.
