As the development of MAC Gimps seems to have come to a halt
I wondered if any of the Unix gurus out there had considered
porting the software to the unix base of the MAC OS X
operating system? Is this a big job, or is it possible to
use one of the existing unix ports to work on the OS?
Well I'm not a UNIX guru. I've been writing a C program to make
Lucas-Lehmer test (Glucas). Some months ago I'll release a beta (or
alpha) version to ask help to extend the program to other platforms.
Only few volunteers make some binaries in few platforms, but there is
still the 'tune' work to do.
Because the time go fast, I decided no wait, in few days I will release
a new version of Glucas. It run fast enough to be compared with Mlucas.
It seems there is no problem in UNIX world but in other OS I will need
some more help.
So, you can try to make a binary, test, tune it and tell how it works.
It has a lot of advantages with respect MacLucasUNIX.
Best regards.
Guillermo.
