ClearCase CtCmd.dll available somewhere?

[rico_g]

Hi,

I'm having trouble building the ClearCase Perl module ClearCase::CtCmd on Windows and Linux. For Windows I don't have the correct build environment set up and for Linux I ran into an issue that is only addressed for Solaris (http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21259667), not for Linux.

Here my question: is the ClearCase DLL, CtCmd.dll, avialable for download somewhere so that I don't have to build the Perl module myself?

Thanks,
Rico.

Hi,

You'll need to build this files specific for your environment.  The README file in the distribution also seems to have information on the issue I think you are reporting, and how to work around it.  Its pretty yukky I have to say.

Sorry I can't be more help - I don't use ClearCase.  I only know there are people using this on Linux and Windows.

Perhaps you can email the authors for help if you are still stuck.

Cheers,
David

If you read the actual code (C:\codestriker\lib\Codestriker\Repository\ClearCaseDynamic.pm), you don't need ClearCase::CtCmd under Windows.  You'll have to modify ClearCaseDynamic.pm and install.pl.  However, I haven't tested it yet, so I don't know whether it works or not.

    # Check if we are running under Windows, which doesn't support
    # the setview and endview commands.
    if (! Codestriker::is_windows()) {
    # Set the current view to the repository's dynamic view name.
    $clearcase = ClearCase::CtCmd->new();
    (my $status, my $stdout, $error_msg) =
        $clearcase->exec('setview', $self->{dynamic_view_name});

    # Check the result of the setview command.
    if ($status) {
        $error_msg = "Failed to open view: " . $self->{dynamic_view_name} .
        ": $error_msg\n";
        print STDERR "$error_msg\n";
        return $error_msg;
    }
    }
