With versions 1.15 and 1.44 of respectively ClearCase::Wrapper and ClearCase::Argv ( http://cpan.org CPAN perl scripts, originally by David Boyce), I achieved what looks like a port of IBM/Rational ClearCase on Cygwin.
This requires a Windows installation of ClearCase. It offers a cleartool.plx script which will spawn a backgound cleartool process, and pass it arbitrary commands, preforming pre- and post-processing (mostly paths and eol) suitable for piping, and use from the command line and from scripts. Limitations for now concern: - interactive comments (you need to use '-c "my comments"', or '-nc') - running the cleartool emulation itself, in interactive mode Beside ClearCase on Windows, you need to install into your cygwin perl a cloning package, such as Clone, and: - ClearCase::Argv - ClearCase::Wrapper ClearCase::Wrapper comes with some in-built enhancements to cleartool, but the intention is to implement real changes in separate packages, such as ClearCase::Wrapper::DSB and ClearCase::Wrapper::MGi (which you are of course encouraged to install as well). Beyond the http://cpan.org CPAN site, I wish to advertise a http://code.google.com/p/clearcase-cpan/ Google site , where I maintain the on-going development. I welcome bug reports (esp. as issues there) and contributions. The publication to CPAN remains David's responsibility (apart for the ::MGi module).
