[galib] GALib doesn't compile with GCC-4.0

[Douglas A. Augusto]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile GALib 2.4.6 under GCC-4.0 without success. I get many
warnings (about headers¹) and an fatal error:

../ga/GAAllele.h:147: error: declaration of 'operator==' as non-function
../ga/GAAllele.h:147: error: expected ';' before '<' token
../ga/GAAllele.h:148: error: declaration of 'operator!=' as non-function
../ga/GAAllele.h:148: error: expected ';' before '<' token
make[1]: *** [GAAllele.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/douglas/src/galib/galib246/ga'
make: *** [lib] Error 2


1. Warnings:

of the deprecated header <iostream.h>.  To disable this warning use
-Wno-deprecated.
