Hi Greg: Thanks very much for these test results. I don't think it matters much in this particular case, but please get into the habit of attaching the script output for this and your other platform tests. >From the WARNING messages in opensuse-13.2/shared/output_tree/cmake.out your test has been artificially limited by not installing the appropriate system software. Just taking those WARNING messages in order, that missing system software includes swig (which means the java, python, octave, and lua bindings must be dropped), development libraries for Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk (which means all Tcl-related bindings must be dropped), an Ada compiler (which means the Ada binding must be dropped), a D compiler (which means the D binding must be dropped), shapelib (which means interesting parts of the API and also parts of example 19 must be dropped), qhull (which means interesting parts of the API and also parts of example 21 must be dropped), libLASi (which means the psttf device driver must be dropped), the development version of Qt4 (which means the qt device driver must be dropped), libharu (or libhpdf) (which means the pdf device driver must be dropped), and the OCaml development libraries (which means our ocaml binding must be dropped). At least swig and development versions of Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk and Qt4 should be readily available on OpenSuSe so I suggest you install at least those (assuming you have control of that machine) to increase the power of your test. Because you terminated the test prematurely, you only got through roughly one third of it (i.e., you didn't get to the nodynamic and static parts of this comprehensive test). The slowness of the wxPLViewer application for example 17 is a well-known bug for new wxwidgets, and the proper way to get out of it without terminating the test is to to hit the "file" menu button on the wxPLViewer which provides an exit option which you should take. Also, the -np option (the "No pause" option which is used for this test to try and reduce how much the user has to interact with the test) is not honored (yet) by new wxwidgets which means you have to either use the exit option to immediately exit each of the wxwidgets examples (as for example 17) or else hit enter to get through all the pages and eventually exit. Similarly, if/when you install the development versions of Tcl etc., you will find a few of the Tcl examples do not honor the -np option so you will have to get through them by hand, e.g., by hitting the enter key to move through some of the pages. So although we have reduced the tedium of running the interactive part of the comprehensive tests an enormous amount by using the -np option, honoring that option is not yet perfect so there still is a certain amount of patience and interaction required to get through the interactive part of the comprehensive test. N.B. You can use the "--do_test_interactive no" option for scripts/comprehensive_tests.sh if you want to completely drop the interactive part of the tests. Such noninteractive comprehensive test are well defined, and it certainly would still be worthwhile for me to report such incomplete results on our wiki if you ran out of patience with dealing with the interactive part of the test.
