[gnugo-devel] Regression/Testcases

[-]

I had quite a lot of problems to set up the html-views, get apache server running etc.

 

using Suse8.2, logged in as root, gnugo-3.5.4
right now it looks to me like some of the problems i had could be because the apache server ran with
less rights than root, but i remember having tried this already some weeks ago?! - i don't know why...

 

Please could you add some lines (not for me :) to the documentation of gnugo, containing
some of the following information.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------
SIMPLE DESCRIPTION

 

MAKE CHANGES TO
/etc/http/httpd.conf
[skipped.... (as described in the documentation)]

 

COPY (OR MOVE) WHOLE GNUGO-DIRECTORY TO
[/srv/www/ for example]htdocs/gnugo

 

START APACHE
apachectl start/stop

 

EVALUATE TESTGASES
./regress.pl blunder.tst OR
./regress.pl *.tst

 

POINT BROWSER to http://localhost/gnugo/regression/regress.plx

 

(test.sh, eval.sh, regress.sh not needed for htmlviews)

 

(this was confusing to me)
---------------------------------

 

Problems+solutions:

 

1) directory html/images exists not:
mkdir html/images

 

2) new testcases are not displayed:
rm html/index.html
rm html/one* 
./regression.plx (run once from commandline and ignore the output; works for me)

 

3) some board-images are not displayed:
./regression.plx endgame:850 (file:problem nr, run once from commandline and ignore the output; works for me)

 

----------------------------------

 

Also I want to make the proposal to make the calculated testcases (of any version 3.5.4/newest cvs/or older, what you have)
available as a tar.gz for download, on the main gnugo developer page. (calculation takes some hours)
