GUI Use Case - Analyze a Simple Code Project built using an Executable Script on Linux
A user has a simple code project on a standard developer Linux installation, with the GCC compiler suite and associated standard development tools. The project consists of a few source code files, arranged in a directory structure.
The user currently builds this code project by running the make command on the command line, where the Makefile contents are as shown below:
This simple situation is easily turned into a Perforce QAC project. When a user wishes to apply the Perforce QAC software to a code project, the procedure is conducted in two steps; creating a new Perforce QAC project, and then informing the Perforce QAC software of the files to be analyzed (this is done by building the code project as the Perforce QAC software observes the process). The result is that you have an empty Perforce QAC project, which must then be populated with the relevant files.
