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; this the recommended method of configuring these projects.

The Ounce/Make utility provides a command line interface for generating AppScan Source project files (.ppf) from makefiles (a makefile provides a means to build an executable application or library from source files). The generated ppf files contain all of the information needed by AppScan Source to assess the source code that the corresponding makefile is responsible for compiling. Once Ounce/Make generates the .ppf files, you can import or add the project files into AppScan Source.

To launch the utility:

On Windows™ systems, run <install_dir>\bin\ouncemake.exe (where <install_dir> is the location of your AppScan Source installation), for example on Windows (32-bit):
```
C:\Program Files\IBM\AppScan Source\bin\ouncemake.exe
```
On Linux™ systems, run <install_dir>/bin/ouncemake, for example:
```
/opt/ibm/appscansource/bin/ouncemake
```

Make is the tool that automates compiling, linking (and so forth), of programs, taking into account the interdependencies of modules and their modification times. Make reads instructions from a makefile, which specifies a set of targets to build, the files on which they depend, and the commands to execute to produce them.
