Error description

  • AppScan Source does not seem to properly resolve the macros when
    importing a Visual Studio solution file. The VS file contains a
    macro to the path of the solution file: $(SolutionDir) which is
    defined here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c02as0cs(v=vs.100).aspx
    
    In Visual Studio, this appears to properly resolve to the
    location of the solution file, but in an AppScan Source imported
    solution file, the include directories show that $(SolutionDir)
    actually resolved to $(ProjectDir) instead. This is causing a
    problem in terms of being able to locate the proper header
    files.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When a Visual Studio project contained header files referenced
    using $(SolutionDir), AppScan Source incorrectly resolved the
    variable to the project directory, rather than the solution
    directory.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problem has been fixed.
    

Temporary fix
