Build scenario

Let us consider a build scenario.

Suppose you want to build a library libpub.a for an architecture that HCL VersionVault does not currently support, using a host of that architecture named titan. The VOB storage area for the sources of the library is located at /vobstore/libpub.vbs on host sol. This VOB is also mounted on sol, at /proj/libpub.
