Build issue after the upgradation of clearcase from 8.0.0.7 to 8.0.0.15

Question

When this issue got triggered: In our project we have been using ClearCase (8.0.0.7 version). We never had problems when we tried to build our code on the 8.0.0.7 version. It was only after upgrading this version to 8.0.0.15 that the build issue has arisen. The legacy of both old and new ClearCases are baseClearcase.

NOTE: We are using Windows 2003 server.

Specifications about the drives we are using in our project: We are given three drives (namely H, R and M drives). H and R drives are NTFS drives where as M is an MVFS drive. Usage of C drive is completely out of scope as we are not given access to this drive. We generally create Snapshot views as creation of dynamic views is not encouraged in our project.

What I did previously: I compiled my code in the H drive (We used to use this drive even before the upgradation of clearcase) and got an MVFS error !! Since I did not get satisfactory answers when I posted this question: MVFS error in a snapshot view after upgradation of ClearCase, I started some vague trials on R drive (which is also an NTFS drive) and tried to build my code on it. Luckily it was compiling but with some errors which say:

**** Error code 1

clearmake.exe: Error: Build script failed for /so/and/so/path.a (There are five such errors)

and we also have

**** Error code 1

clearmake.exe: Error: Build script failed for mods (There were two such errors)

1--> Is it the makefile which is causing this trouble? If yes, Is it due to upgradation of clearcase?

2--> Is the R drive suitable for the creation of snapshot views and should I continue with it?

Can someone tell me the complete solution for this compilation failure?

Answer 1

Could you provide the clearmake output using the -dv options to provide more debugging statements on the exact command that failed?
