Builds By Release Enginering
Full nightly builds and release builds on applicable platforms are done by release engineering
A full build makes four global passes of clearmake over the source tree
- Generate makefiles (using Imake) and
- Generate header files
- Build libraries and check in results to staging VOB with label
- cleartool checkin -ptime -from <path of lib> <path in staging VOB>
- Build all executables and check in the results to the staging VOB
- Builds access the previously checked in libraries via option: -L/vobs/$CPU_stage/lib
Periodically, a release is created by copying files from source and staging VOBs into an installation image, for inhouse testing and deployment.
