running phoronix-test-suite on Opensuse

[grumpf]

I have tested phoronix-test-suite on Opensuse 10.0 but the same should work for newer releases.

before you start:
- install php5,php5-gd,php5-posix
make a link from php5 to php
ln -s /usr/bin/php5 /usr/bin/php

to avoid playing with searchpaths you may like to add

ini_set("include_path", ini_get('include_path').".:../:./include:../include");

as line just after <php? in pts-core/pts-run-cmd.php
that will extend the current searchpath.

Note: i am not a php programmer so there may be easier ways to do so

With the latest git today, it should no longer be needed to make the php5 to php link.

nice to read. did you also add the

i had to add init_set() to all programs in pts-core
will that be added to the next release also ?

Actually, I am trying to understand why you're having the include_path issue, as that shouldn't be a problem.

i run into a problem i can not solve
the script is looping:

PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant STDIN - assumed 'STDIN' in /home/scratch/mnt/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/functions/pts-functions.php on line 421
PHP Warning: fgets(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/scratch/mnt/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/functions/pts-functions.php on li
ne 421

the problem is already descriped here:

Opensuse default include path is this:
include_path = "/usr/share/php5"

no dot, nothing else

[grumpf]

it seems some more path are broken.
i was able to download and compile some tests (until the rror above),
I tried to continue by using the programms directly but
it did not work,
