gcc in Mdk 8.0 - I am screwed...

[bretzel]

Hi,
I know I am not in the right place to get answers for this but
I cannot find no other places to ask...So maybe one is kind enough 
here to enlighten me ...

My new Linux installation is Mdk8.0
and the compiler is:
[bretzel at bretzel ip]$ g++ -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk)

-> Weird compile error :

   EnumTest { n1,n2,n3, n4 };
   EnumTest ET=n1;
   [...]
    ++ET;
"g++    -c -o main.o main.cpp
main.cpp: In function `int main (int, char **)':
main.cpp:201: no match for `++EnumTest &' "

Thus, this construction is not valid anymore:
"for( ET=n1; ET<=n3; ++ET)" 
I was used to do it ;-)

Now I must iterate enums vars casted to int vars then cast back
int vars to enums vars... whoa!

In Mdk7.2 and - , I never got error about that ...

...And I 've also discovered that I lack important C++ knowledges:
What is the difference(s) between
  (const?) int method(); AND 
  (const?) int method() const;  ??

I need to be enlighted...

Thanks.

Bretzel
