petdance/scratch — Issue #1260: config problem with glui library on ubuntu 10.04

If I have the glui libraries (include files) installed on my ubuntu 10.04 system, the $ perl configure.pl shell command makes the following complaint/warning:
{{{
gen::opengl - Generating OpenGL bindings...In OpenGL header '/usr/include/GL/glui.h', can't parse canonicalized prototype for '':
GLUI_String& glui_format_str(GLUI_String &str, char* fmt, ...);
Original prototype:
GLUIAPI GLUI_String& glui_format_str(GLUI_String &str, const char* fmt, ...);

......................done.
}}}

this appears to come from the header file parser in parrot/config/gen/opengl.pm throwing out the "const" prefix for a "char *"
argument:

{{{
cc179ba1 (japhb 2008-06-01 03:02:27 +0000 695) s/\bconst\b\s*//g;
}}}
