The Ounce/Make build utility
Ounce/Make is a tool that automates the importing of configuration information into AppScan® Source from build environments that use makefile. Ounce/Make eliminates the need to import configuration information from makefiles manually.
Ounce/Make properties file
The Ounce/Make Properties file (ouncemake_properties.xml) is an XML file that contains details about your build environment. When Ounce/Make runs, it finds the properties file based on the search path or the -p option. The properties file must specify the compiler used in your build environment, the linker, and make elements.
Ouncemake properties file elements
OuncemakeProperties, the root element of the Properties file, contains the elements that are listed in this topic.
Make
The Make element specifies a make executable used in your build environment. The value of this element must be an absolute path to an executable. The Properties File can contain multiple Make elements, but at least one is required.

`Make`

The Make element specifies a make executable used in your build environment. The value of this element must be an absolute path to an executable. The Properties File can contain multiple Make elements, but at least one is required.

This element consists of one attribute, macro, which specifies the name of the variable that stores the make executable when building. If you do not specify the macro attribute, Ounce/Make sets the attribute to MAKE by default.

The value for the make macro attribute must be unique across all Make elements.

Example

<Make macro=MAKE>/usr/bin/make</Make>

Description

MAKE: Tells Ounce/Make that you use the MAKE macro.
/usr/bin/make: Tells Ounce/Make that you use the /usr/bin/make make
