Description:   Opened: 2003-08-12 10:48 0000 
I use GALib, a library for Genetic Algorithms written in C++, on a regular
basis, and I recently installed it on my nice new gentoo system :).

I thought that it would be even nicer if there was an ebuild for this library. 
Development on GALib has pretty much halted (it is quite mature), so I would see
this as a 1 time build, no maintenance required.

This EBuild would be a good fit in the app-sci category.

Thanks,

Jeff

tadaa! here it is, ebuild for GAlib 2.4.5

Discoverd this nice library today, and since it isn't in portage I decided to
create an ebuild. Obviously I wasn't the first who missed it, so you could help
me testing ;)
P.S. GAlib has a special license that has to be added (see below).
P.P.S I would prefer dev-libs since GAlib is a lib not an application

License for GAlib

GAlib is NOT public domain (although its "free"), so its license should be
added to the portage/licenses dir.

This ebuild seems to need a few modifictions... stay tuned.

Should be in portage soon as dev-libs/galib. Uses CXXFLAGS now and installs
the documentation.

Recently emerged this. It looks good.  Thanks for the work!
