Example 2: Ounce/Make with recursive option

With the -r option, Ounce/Make operates recursively (follows calls to other makefiles contained inside a makefile). Since multiple-project file mode is the default mode, when used with the -r option, Ounce/Make creates an AppScan® Source project file for every makefile encountered that compiles source code.

See Directory structure and files for a graphical explanation of the directory structure and files that are assumed by this example.

Command

ouncemake -r

The -r (recursive) option instructs Ounce/Make to follow makefile calls to other makefiles. For a more detailed description of the recursive option, refer to the table in Ounce/Make command syntax and make options.

The following diagram shows the contents of the directories after Ounce/Make runs:


Directory structure after Ounce/Make has run

In this example, Ounce/Make creates an AppScan Source project file in /usr/source and /usr/source/server. Since the makefile in /usr/source called the makefiles in /usr/source/database and /usr/source/server, Ounce/Make checked to see if those makefiles compiled source code.

In the case of the makefile in /usr/source/database, Ounce/Make determined that this makefile does not compile source code; therefore, it did not create an AppScan Source project file. However, Ounce/Make determined that the makefile in /usr/source/server compiled the source files in that directory, and thus generated an AppScan Source project file for the source files in /usr/source/server.
