Summary

Fixes all broken links across the project after the migration from INRIA
GForge and SourceForge to GitHub.

  • Fix factual errors in README, INSTALL, and CONTRIBUTING (cmake typo -BUILD_TESTING-DBUILD_TESTING, wrong doc paths, outdated compiler references)
  • Replace ~50 broken links in the website (docs/index.html) — tutorials, presentations, API docs, examples, author pages, contact info
  • Fix broken links in Doxygen mainpage files for all modules (EO, MO, MOEO, SMP, DTLZ)
  • Fix broken links in EO tutorial HTML and mainpage (SourceForge, personal pages, CMA-ES)
  • Update ~675 license header URLs in .h and .cpp source files across all modules
  • Add 9 missing tutorial READMEs for MOEO Lessons 1–4, SMP Lessons 1–4, and MO Lesson 9
  • Fix return 1return 0 in 28 tutorial main() functions that unconditionally signaled failure

The deprecated/ directory is intentionally left unchanged. Dead URLs inside HTML comments are preserved as historical references.

Test plan

  • Grep for gforge.inria.fr and eodev.sourceforge.net outside deprecated/ — zero hits in code/doc files
  • cmake .. && make — verify builds succeed
  • make doc — verify Doxygen generates without errors
  • Open docs/index.html in browser — verify tutorial links resolve
  • ctest — verify no test regressions

- Fix cmake typo: -BUILD_TESTING → -DBUILD_TESTING (CONTRIBUTING.md)
- Remove dead GForge clone URL and mailing list links
- Replace mailing list references with GitHub Issues
- Drop outdated Ubuntu version and GCC version specifics (18.04/12.04,
  g++-8/gcc-4.7) — ParadisEO requires C++17, any modern compiler works
- Fix doc-edo label: "for MO" → "for EDO" (INSTALL.md)
- Fix doc path: build/paradise-mo/doc → build/mo/doc (INSTALL.md)
- Fix website path: paradiseo/website/index.html → docs/index.html (README.md)
- Update Git clone URL from dead INRIA GForge to GitHub (README.md)
Replace ~50 dead URLs pointing to gforge.inria.fr, eodev.sourceforge.net,
and defunct personal pages. Tutorial links now point to in-repo content
on GitHub. Presentation PDFs use Wayback Machine URLs or local paths
where the files exist in the repository. Contact info updated from dead
mailing lists to GitHub Issues.
Update dead gforge.inria.fr and eodev.sourceforge.net URLs in the
module-level Doxygen index pages (eo, mo, moeo, smp, DTLZ). Replace
with GitHub URLs and current contact information.
Replace dead external links in eoTutorial.html (sgi.com STL reference,
bionik.tu-berlin.de CMA-ES page), mainpage.html (eodev.sourceforge.net),
and publications.html (eodev.sourceforge.net download links). Point to
cppreference.com, cma-es.github.io, and GitHub equivalents.
Replace http://paradiseo.gforge.inria.fr with
https://nojhan.github.io/paradiseo/ and paradiseo-help@lists.gforge.inria.fr
with https://github.com/nojhan/paradiseo/issues across all source files,
doxyfile templates, cmake packaging, and eo documentation. Also updates
eodev.sourceforge.net references in EO headers.

Applied to .h, .cpp, .cmake, and miscellaneous files in eo/, mo/, moeo/,
smp/, and problems/.
Add README.md files for moeo/tutorial/Lesson{1-4}, smp/tutorial/Lesson{1-4},
and mo/tutorial/Lesson9 — these tutorials had no documentation.

Fix return 1 → return 0 in 28 tutorial main() functions across mo/ and
smp/ that unconditionally returned failure status.
Catches moeo/src/moeo, smp/src/smp, mo/src/mo (extension-less umbrella
include files missed by the glob pattern), ForRelease
(paradiseo-users@ mailing list), and problems/DTLZ/README.txt and
edo/README (wiki links).
