Not quite that bad. The ClearCase client does a significant amount of caching, both in the MVFS itself and on a per-view basis. You can often get better performance by increasing the amount of caching for views. There are commands that will show you the cache hit/miss and other stats for your client, and you can modify cache sizes both on a per-system and per-view basis. Anyway, this is not the place for long discussions of proprietary software not related to GNU make. A note regarding clearmake's GNU compatibility mode: it's pretty anemic, really, and not getting better. For the most part it emulates GNU make 3.75, with a few enhancements here and there. It does provide target-specific variables, which is nice, but most other newer features like eval, call, $(if ...), etc. are not there. Not even error or warning! Also, it cannot do auto-re-exec... without either eval _or_ auto-re-exec you are severely limited in the kinds of things you can get it to do. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
