Another possibility is to use "cleartool startview <view>" to make sure
that your view is mounted and then use view-extended paths to access
that view. E.g.:

  cleartool startview myview
  cd /view/myview/vobs/myvob/path/to/src
  make

That cuts out the extra shell that you get from "cleartool setview",
which might make automating it via buildbot more viable. It does rely on
your Makefiles using relative paths rather than absolute paths
(/vobs/myvob, etc.). If you can fix up your Makefiles, this should be a
go-er.

Bye, Rich

PS: Hi Brian - long time no mail! I've been meaning to try out buildbot
here, but I haven't got round to it yet, beyond a toy "Hello World"
project.
