2 Introduction to compiling Mercury programs

The Mercury compiler is called mmc, which stands for “Melbourne Mercury Compiler”.

Note that on Microsoft Windows systems, the name mmc is also used by the executable for the Microsoft Management Console. To avoid the name clash on these systems, you can either invoke the Mercury compiler by its alternative name ‘mercury’, or adjust your PATH to ensure that the Mercury bin directory precedes the Windows system directory.
