Why not have local pre-commit hooks? Even if you are not using git-p4 clobbering some sort of frontend tool to p4 submit that first runs make etc that everyone would use would be a big win for your team.

Everybody uses intellij. We couldn't find ability to add local precommit hooks there and we didn't have resources to build our own custom tool for such basic operation.

You are using perforce so just write a bash script called p4 that if you are doing a commit first does checks followed by the real commit and otherwise passed every command to the real p4.

Your problem reminds me of the "Why would you use Emacs over intellij thread".
