Dan,
There are probably several opinions on this, many can be site specific....
I'll give my general opinion on this, but it might not apply there.. here goes:
Have a compile directory say /vobs/project/src" where foo.c and maybe foo.h
reside...
Have a well known directory of "good objects" at say "/vobs/project/lib" or
"/vobs/project/objects"...
Compile (hopefully with clearmake) in to the src directory where
*.o (*.out) are derived objects but are NOT elements...
this allows compiles without performing any checkouts. Developers can
compile freely without disturbing others as this would be a view private
area (for the objects that is..)..
When objects are "worthy" of a checkin in perform the of the object to the
archive area like so
from /vobs/project/objects:
cleartool ci -nc -from /vobs/project/src/foo.o foo.o
(or is it "to".... I'm writing from a hotel again...)
The only trick is to make sure that your link path in your makefiles looks
in /vobs/project/src before /vobs/project/objects...
NOW you get your view private objects first.. (what you want) otherwise you
get the well know stuff...(most likely - hopefully - the result of a night
build)...
Even if you can't make this adjustment in the makefile... you can still use
the benifits of a nightly build to bring compile times down.. still avoid
having to perform massive checkouts to build... and can still minimize the
checkin of binaries to only those that are deemed "worthy"
Hope this helps
