Comment(by jkeenan):
This should not be treated as a problem in "Configure.pl", but in the
difficulty of including OpenGL in Parrot at all. I've configured many
times and never gotten this output -- but then again, the OSes, distros
and libraries I work with tend not to be 'beta', 'testing' or even latest
'stable'. So I'm not surprised that the code in auto::opengl and
config::opengl can't keep up with the evolution of OpenGL in various OS
distributions.
We could conceivably patch config/gen/opengl.pm to send stderr to
/dev/null, but that doesn't sound like a good solution. Perhaps this is
the time to face the question: What does inclusion of OpenGL in Parrot
core gain us? What effort would it take to rip it out? What would we
lose? What would we gain?
Thank you very much.
