[Mesa-users] MESA Docker

[Ian Foley]

Hi Evan,

Thanks for the link. I have upgraded to Windows 10 Pro and have increased
flexibility for sure. However, I am having to find out things for myself as
the instructions on the MESA website do not tell it all. Being able to use
the Hyper-V Manager has enabled we to relocate the VM onto my d drive where
I have a lot more disk space - great! However, I had to find out that
having installed Docker for Windows that I can modify the settings to
enable the VM to mount both my c and d drive. When I do this I can
reposition my location to the d drive before I run the git clone
instruction so that the MESA-Docker directory is created there.

However, currently I am stuck at this point because when I run
./win_dockerMESA.sh I get the following

ian at IandD MINGW64 /d/MESA/MESA-Docker (master)
$ ./win_dockerMESA.sh
winpty: error: cannot start 'docker': Not found in PATH
winpty: error: cannot start 'docker': Not found in PATH
password is mesa
ssh: connect to host localhost port 6158: Connection refused
./win_dockerMESA.sh: line 52: docker: command not found

It may be a path setting problem, so your link may help.

Thanks
Ian
