1.2 Configuring omake

omake reads an initialization file, ccase-home-dir\bin\make.ini, which you can configure. The default make.ini file gives you a minimal configuration. Installing a new version of ClearCase replaces your make.ini file; if you have customized this file and want to maintain your changes after upgrading to a new version of ClearCase, back up the file before installation and restore it afterward from your backup copy.

One of the major features of omake is its ability to emulate either PolyMake/PVCS Configuration Builder or Microsoft NMAKE. The emulation is enabled with a command-line option. See PM/CB Emulation and NMAKE Emulation for more information. Throughout this document, PM/CB refers to PolyMake/Configuration Builder, and NMAKE refers to Microsoft NMAKE.
