Re: [GNE]Compilation complication

[Gillius <gi...@ma...>]

Originally the GCC 2.96 code was the default, but since GCC 3 is no longer 
backwards compatabile with GCC 2.9x, and almost everyone has upgraded now, 
the proper version that compiles with GCC 3 and MSVC6 and later is used.

You need to enable the old C++ compatibility mode of the GNE library in 
order to fix these problems.  On the g++ command line the -DOLD_CPP=1 
parameter needs to be given.  In the makefile system you should be able to 
do it with make:

make OLD_CPP=1

Originally OLD_CPP mode was default but OLD_CPP won't compile with GCC 3 
now so the new version is default.

This is the last version of GNE that will be officially supporting GCC 
versions prior to GCC 3 (through my support).  It is too much trouble for 
me as one person working on the last year of his degree to support 11 
compilers so I have dropped quite a few, the biggest one for GNE 0.70 was 
drop for MSVC6 support, because of a bug I could not workaround for MSVC6 
without seriously compromising the API.  The next release will deprecate 
support for MingW 1.0 and 2.0 (leaving 3.0 as supported) and GCC versions 
prior to 3 under Linux, but it may still compile.

If you or anyone else is interested in maintaining any and all ports -- 
basically all you need to do is make sure the CVS version is compiling and 
working on your machine, please let me know, so I won't have to drop GCC 
2.9x support.
