  - VersionVault build concepts
    HCL VersionVault supports makefile based building of software systems and provides a software build environment closely resembling that of the make program.
  - Derived objects and configuration records
    Learn about derived objects and configuration records.
  - Pointers on using HCL VersionVault build tools
    Learn about how to use VersionVault build tools.
  - Working with DOs and configuration records
    You can perform operations on derived objects and configuration records.
  - clearmake makefiles and BOS files
    The HCL VersionVault build program, clearmake, can process makefiles.
  - Using clearmake compatibility modes
    clearmake is designed for compatibility with existing make programs, which minimizes the changes you need to make to your makefiles.
  - Using HCL VersionVault to build C++ programs
    Understand the guidelines and instructions to use the VersionVault build utilities, omake and clearmake, in C++ development environments such as Microsoft Visual C++. You will learn how the makefile fragment works and also present alternate possibilities for working around the problems.
  - Using HCL VersionVault build tools with Java
    The build behavior of Java tools causes various problems for clearmake and omake. Understand the problems and some possible solutions to resolve them.

Starting a parallel build

Follow the steps mentioned in this content to start a parallel build.

To start a parallel build:

Invoke clearmake by using the -J command-line option or set the CCASE_CONC environment variable.

For example, to start a build that builds up to five targets concurrently, use one of the following methods:


`% clearmake-J 5 my_target` `% setenv CCASE_CONC 5 % clearmakemy_target`	(command-line options) (environment variable)

If any warnings or errors occur with clearmake -J, see clearmake.
