Solaris 10 SPARC?

Is there any chance this release will support Solaris 10 on SPARC? I know it works on Sol10 x86.

I have been wanting to benchmark my old sparc systems and been unable to.

What doesn't work about it on SPARC? I have access to no SPARC hardware so I have no idea, but it should work out just fine... I know some people have run some SPARC and PowerPC benchmarks with PTS previously.

I get this message
"./phoronix-test-suite: PTS_DIR=/export/home/midgard/Downloads/phoronix-test-suite: is not an identifier"

I was able to benchmark SPARC systems on the now retired Solaris 11 express, GNU/Linux with PTS, the PlayStation 3 on Linux, but no Solaris 10 on SPARC.

I could make you an account on one of my SPARC machines if you wish to check the problem out.

Sure, that would be good.

I made you an account on my Sol10 machine. I cannot send you private messages through the forum since your box is full. I sent you an email through the 'Contacts' tab from the main phoronix page with url, usrname, passwd info.

From a quick look, if you change #!/bin/sh to #!/usr/bin/bash and then install PHP 5.2+, it should work on your Solaris 10 SPARC box.
