We use clearcase with success following a few simple rules. 1) The vobs are all in /vob/ 2) Through views, the vobs are accessible either with '/view//vob/' or 'vob/' when 'setview is on' 3) Everyone's views are mapped to a drive letter on PC (say V:) 4) This drive letter is then cygwin-mounted as '/view//vob/' and '/vob/' The normal usage of the vobs is to use setview. Therefore on both win32 and unix hosts the logical filesystem is the same. We run exactly the same scripts, make process and validation process on unix and win32 hosts. It's a bit slow on PCs but it works without changing a line of source. NB: The cleartool commands are implemented on the win32 host with a short 'ct' script which calls a remote 'ct' on a UNIX workstation, which then does the job. > There are a lot of sources under ClearCase and I must > create loadable image using make utility.

You may solve that using mounted dir. --Laurent - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
