Phoronix: Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 Released

Phoronix Media has today released Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 (codenamed "Selbu"), which is a sizable update to its very popular testing software. Phoronix Test Suite 1.8 introduces a graphical user-interface making it easier for end-users to test out their computer systems, adds support for reference system comparisons, is compatible with more *BSD operating systems, and adds a number of new test profiles and suites. The Phoronix Test Suite is designed to run benchmarks/tests atop Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD, and OpenSolaris systems in a clean, reproducible, and easy-to-use way.

Nice to see a GUI for PTS.

The GUI doesn't work in OpenSolaris, either I am retarded or there's something missing which I do not know how to add;

username@opensolaris:~# phoronix-test-suite gui
PHP Fatal error: Class 'GtkWindow' not found in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/gtk/pts_gtk_window.php on line 23

joffe: Do you have PHP-GTK installed? Is it available in OpenSolaris? I didn't even think it was packaged for OpenSolaris.

Hello

Do you have a list of new tests?

I've looked at the history and it appears these are new since 1.6:

povray
c-ray
bwfirt

Is that right? Are there any more?

Thanks

[Michael]

c-ray, pov-ray, and bwfirt are new. The vdrift test profile is also new, since it works now, and in previous releases it was marked as broken.

Well, I suppose not. I saw that, and what I did was that I grabbed everything in the repository with 'gtk' or 'php' in it in the hopes that it had been labelled by a silly person to something else. I guess not.

Anyway, I guess I'll just have to figure out the CLI then. If anyone tries to tell me how to compile php gtk for opensolaris I might just self-immolate.

I found compiling php-gtk to be quite... hard. Still haven't accomplished it (hence no Glade yet. Sorry michael )

It does look like your php-gtk is old or broken.

I get the same error in Ubuntu, 8.10, pre-release updates installed:

desktop:~$ phoronix-test-suite gui



Fatal error: Class 'GtkWindow' not found in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/pts-core/objects/gtk/pts_gtk_window.php on line 23


I don't see a PHP-GTK, searching Synaptic. I do have all the recommended requirements installed, as listed with Synaptic.

Be real, be sober.

Oh, that's right. Forget it. That has to be downloaded and compiled, for now. Thanks.
