  • When configuring cmake I get the first error, concerning a CMP0057 error.
    I get rid of it by editing the file Source/CmakeModules/MercuryDocumentation.cmake and commenting the first line (cmake_policy(SET CMP0057 NEW)).
  • in list operator
• DPM issues.docx

• Juan Esteban Alvarez
• Timo Plath Confirm Trunk currently broken.

Now the docker is tested on Windows(Enterpirse, with Hyper-V activated), Mac(10.15) and XUbuntu(18.04) with the possibility of sharing the files between the container and the host machine.

The draft instruction is on the confluence page: "Docker Instructions", please take a look and let me know if you have trouble in following that instruction.

Could someone download docker on his Windows(Professional) system and test it?

Hao needs to check if there is a possibility to make docker works also on Windows(Home).

If this is settled, we could use it for the MercuryDPM course.

Update: Docker works now, on Win, Mac, Linux, can be used in course

Jinja or Jinja2

Do we want to add a python interface to MercuryDPM in the future?

Would be useful to use in combination with GrainLearning.

We also have the Mercury command line interface, but that cannot pass functions.
