[help-GIFT] Another compilation problem (G++ 3.0, Linux 2.4.5)

[Christian Moeller]

Hi all!

I stumbled over GIFT after reading an article about image retrieval in
the current german magazine c´t.

So before the rush begins I have tried the little compilation run on
my machine, but had no luck:


root:/mypath/gift-0.1.6pre3# g++ --version
3.0
root:/mypath/gift-0.1.6pre3# uname -a
Linux choppa 2.4.5-xfs #18 Wed Jun 27 18:38:58 CEST 2001 i686 unknown

I suspect the new compiler version 3.0 of the gcc suite is a little
picky about strings. I do not have a solution at the moment and would
be glad about any hints. BTW I also checked the current CVS snapshot
and the result was identical.
