Running omake or clearmake
Learn how to run omake or clearmake.
Typically, you run omake or clearmake from a dynamic view context using the following procedure:
- Set a view context by assigning a drive to a dynamic view (in Windows Explorer,
click net use command). Then change to that
view:
C:\> net use F: \\view\myview C:\> F: F:\>
or run the - Change to the appropriate directory and run omake or
clearmake:
F:\> cd myvob\src
- (\myvob is the VOB tag)
F:\myvob\src> omake options
or
F:\myvob\src> clearmake options
A view context prevents VOB path names from being dependent on the view the build occurs in. From drive F, you and your makefiles can access versioned objects with non-view-extended, absolute VOB path names like \vob2\src\main.c in either cleartool sub-commands or standard operating system commands. If you work directly on drive M, in view-extended namespace, full path names to VOB objects include a view-specific prefix, which affects configuration lookup so as to prevent DO sharing between views.
