ncurses 6.0 - build errors with default configuration

[Luciano Moreira]

I got the following errors firing make with the default configuration in Linux Mint 18:

$ ./configure && make clean && make

[...]

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../include  -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -O2 --param max-inline-insns-single=1200 -c ../ncurses/lib_gen.c -o ../objects/lib_gen.o

In file included from ./curses.priv.h:325:0,

                 from ../ncurses/lib_gen.c:19:

_11363.c:843:15: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘int’

../include/curses.h:1631:56: note: in definition of macro ‘mouse_trafo’

 #define mouse_trafo(y,x,to_screen) wmouse_trafo(stdscr,y,x,to_screen)

                                                        ^

Attached is a gzipped tarred file with (.err and .out files are the output from stdout and stderr respectively):

$ tar -tzf ncurses-6.0-logs.tar.gzip

config.log

config.status

include/ncurses_cfg.h

configure.err

configure.in

configure.out

make.err

make.out

Even though the log files have all needed information, follow something about the environment:

$ uname -a

$ gcc --version
