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.
MountRoot
The MountRoot element is required if you are assessing source code from a remote system. MountRoot tells Ounce/Make to pre-pend the specified mount point to all absolute include paths that it encounters.

`MountRoot`

The MountRoot element is required if you are assessing source code from a remote system. MountRoot tells Ounce/Make to pre-pend the specified mount point to all absolute include paths that it encounters.

By specifying a MountRoot, Ounce/Make implicitly adds the --remote_root option to the list of compiler options in the resulting ppf.

MountRoot is valid on Linux™ only.

Example

The following is an example line from the Properties file:

<MountRoot>/mnt/mount_point/usr/include</MountRoot>

Description

If one of the specified include paths is /usr/include (such as gcc -I/usr/include ...), Ounce/Make pre-pends /usr/include with the mount point so that the path stored in the resulting ppf file contains the correct path, such as /mnt/mount_point/usr/include.
