unable to build ant with Clearcase on VMware

So here is the problem.

I have a local snapshot in my local windows system and i run my ant script and it builds.

I have build system which is also winxp but its a vmware built inside ubuntu. i have also a snapshot there too in winxp , and my script runs against this. But clearcase doesnt allow to write anything on this folder and build fails. Tried and tired of changing everything thats possible.

I did try one more option, like copying snapshot from my local windows system to vmware winxp and run it from there, and it works cool开发者_高级运维. Coz clearcase doesnt hold any lock. Unable to figure out how to fix this.

Any thoughts friends ?.

ClearCase shouldn't prevent the creation of private files in a snapshot view.
A snapshot view is like a SVN workspace: a collection if files copied on the hard-drive (as opposed to dynamic views which allows for network-access to the same elements)

So I suspect your script fails when it tries to checkout and/or "add to source control" elements.
I which case you need to make sure of the:

• user characteristics (CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP)
• view protect ("cleartool lsview -l -full -pro")

If you have those informations, plus any specific error message, you can add them to your question and leave a comment on this answer. I will then update it accordingly.
