Error description

• When executing a build script line that directly, and
  indirectly, calls the same shell macro, clearmake may fail to
  properly execute the second invocation of the macro.
  
  >>> 09:25:42.822 (clearmake_17649_host): Shell Command is :
  dirname dir1/makefile1>>> 09:25:42.824 (clearmake_17649_host):
  Cmd exit status = 0, errno = 0
  >>> 09:25:42.824 (clearmake_17649_host): Shell Command is :
  dirname dir1/makefile1>>> 09:25:42.827 (clearmake_17649_host):
  Cmd exit status = -1, errno = 10
  clearmake_17649_host: Error: Command "makefile1" returned status
  -1
  clearmake_17649_host: Error: Unable to compute actual build
  script for "dir1/dir2/target1.o"
  
  The buildscript line is:
  
  &#194;&#160;$(CC) $(INCLUDES) -DTSTCASE=$(TESTCASE_DIRNAME) -c -o $@ $<
  
  INCLUDES is defined as:
  
  INCLUDES=-i$(TESTCASE_DIRNAME}
  
  TESTCASE_DIRNAME is defined as:
  FIND_MAKEFILE_SCRIPT=dirname $(MAKEFILE)
  TESTCASE_DIRNAME=$(FIND_MAKEFILE_SCRIPT:sh)
  
  Build script line processes, we appear to process $(INCLUDES) ,
  which includes a call to $(TESTCASE_DIRNAME), and we then
  process that macro explicitly in the next part. One of these
  call fails, and the other succeeds.

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Under some circumstances when a ClearCase local parallel     *
  * build was performed, clearmake would not get signaled that   *
  * the command completed, and the results were not detected.    *
  * This caused the build to fail with a very inaccurate error   *
  * message.                                                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in ClearCase version 9.0.1.8
