Google Code-in

Haiku is a UNIX-like open source operating system that provides a tool called haikuporter to build 3rd party open source software.

A recipe in Haiku is a text file that the haikuporter tool reads in order to build open source software and create packages for it. The collection of recipes that may be built by haikuporter is called HaikuPorts.

If you are new to Haiku then you should probably start with these tasks:

• [New to Haiku? Do this one first] Install and Run Haiku
• Install and run HaikuPorter

The goal of this task is to write a recipe for glucas.

Glucas is a client to make primality test for Mersenne numbers. It is related to the GIMPS effort to search the bigest primes ever found. In addition, it can be used as an excellent performance test.

You can find the sources on the project homepage: https://sourceforge.net/projects/glucas/

The recipe should be added to haikuports at haikuports/sci-mathematics/glucas/.

Important: please read the generic instructions for "recipe" tasks, as we have a lot of these: https://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/GoogleCodeInTaskRecipe

Available time is only 4 days but it can be increased on request.
