In a ClearCase codebase I am (unfortunately) working on, I use
clearmake -C gnu
to build. Can I somehow make GNU the default compatibility mode, so that I don't have to remember to type the extra argument?

The clearmake man page includes:
Alternatively, you can use environment variable
CCASE_MAKE_COMPATin a BOS file or in the environment to specify a compatibility mode.
So:
export CCASE_MAKE_COMPAT=gnu

try "cleartool man clearmake" and/or "cleartool man env_ccase" – Brian Cowan Feb 03 '20 at 15:26

If the GNU make compatibility option is required for the build system, I find the most reliable way is to create a Makefile.options file (in the same directory as the Makefile) that says:
CCASE_MAKE_COMPAT=gnu
This is a build options specification file that will be read automatically when the Makefile is read. This should be added to the source control so it is propagated to every user using clearmake.

Where should this file be placed? In my home directory? In the same directory as the top-level `Makefile`? – einpoklum Feb 03 '20 at 23:08

It should be in the same directory as `Makefile` and put under source control. – raspy Feb 04 '20 at 22:47
