Hi Harish,

I just tested it out on debian/sib/amd64 using hardy.platform and it
worked quite well. Everything built OTOB until the python-dolfin swig
wrapper. The error is

"cc1plus: warnings being treated as errors
dolfin/swig/dolfin_wrap.cc: In function ‘PyObject*
_wrap_summary(PyObject*, PyObject*)’:
dolfin/swig/dolfin_wrap.cc:30015: error: ‘argv[0]’ may be used
uninitialized in this function
..."

Not due to dorsal, though. Thanks for the work.

Regards,
ST
