PTS port to Windows
Can PTS be ever ported to Windows? MacOS?
A Windows port would gain:
+ comparable benchmark results between Linux/Windows
+ wider acceptance of the PTS as a test suite (due to the previous point)
Otherwise PTS will still be valuable for Linuxer's, but would not help Linux marketing efforts as it would still be dismissed by Windows users as a `Linux toy`.
Right now we should not have as an objective to replace established Windows benchmarks such as PC Mark / 3D Mark and this is no attempt at suggesting such a thing. I suppose PTS is too young for this kind of competition - and it will be for at least a couple of years.
So can we hope for some comparable benchmarks across platforms? Console, gui - whatever! How hard would it be to do?
No sarcasm included here. No reading between the lines, please, as I post in good faith.
I just want to check if others are interested in this idea, and I intend no push for features. Also I seek the opinion of programmers better than myself (that is almost any programmer :-) ) to estimate the porting effort.
Thanks.
UPDATE: I got my answer by carefully reading the article:
The only pre-requisites for the Phoronix Test Suite are that you are running Linux (though other operating systems could easily be supported) and that you have the standard development tools/libraries installed (so that the Phoronix Test Suite can compile any of the needed benchmarks) along with php5-cli.
Thanks again, Michael

companies profile

Oh, the part about companies is just marvelous.
Should those companies allow, you should start bragging about their support - I guess it would gain much more collaborators.

Testers just running it out with their different PC(s) when a new release is out or better yet using git frequently and reporting your feedback to the forums.
If you see an application lacking a profile, you could also write one yourself and submit it It's quite easy to do.Michael Larabel

Nice work !!!
I would like to get the test running natively under Mandriva Spring (at least this version) .
I've already modified:
./pts/distro-scripts/install-mandriva-packages.sh
./pts/distro-xml/mandriva-packages.xml
In order to adjsut installation commands and packages name (close to fedora but not all).
I think i need something to modify, but could you guide me a little?
I'm a mandriva long-term contributor (9 years) and i really appreciate this testing suite, i'm there for providing full feeedbackk for the test suite (and of course some specifities to mandriva if needed). Are you OK with this addition?

I'll be happy to push the Mandriva changes upstream once they're working.
That should be all the modifications that are needed to support the "PTS External Dependencies". Is it not working for you? If it's not, I think then it would be a problem in install-mandriva-packages.sh maybe, as it should be auto-detected just fine if the distribution name is being detected properly.
If that's the case, what's the output of phoronix-test-suite diagnostics? It will display something like:
