Use of gets() in PLK plugin

[Former user]

When the current master at the time of report on a machine with debian stretch, the installation fails at the "make plugins" step with the message

plk_plug.C:2522:15: error: 'gets' was not declared in this scope

The reason is that debian stretch ships with g++ version 6.3.0. This compiler ist new enough to obey the removal of gets from the 2011 language standard. The attached patch replaces the gets() calls with appropriate fgets() calls.

I have encountered this issue as well. I got around it by adding the following line to my ~/.bashrc :
export CXX="g++ -std=c++11"

Thanks for bringing this up. I didn't see any attachment, but I will investigate soon.

I guess I not only managed to open the issue without being logged in, I also forgot the attachment. You can grab it from http://www.petschge.de/gets.patch if you want.
