Problem building gdb 6.3 with ncurses 5.4

[Johnson, Drew]

Hello,

  I just attempted to build gdb V6.3 on Solaris10 using gcc v 3.3.2.  I also have ncurses 5.4 installed on that system, because vim 6.3 uses it.  Running configure and make yields the following errors:

In file included from tui/tui.c:48:

/usr/include/term.h:1060: error: parse error before "SGTTY"

/usr/include/term.h:1120: error: parse error before '}' token

/usr/include/term.h:1205: error: conflicting types for `putp'

/usr/local/include/ncurses/ncurses.h:658: error: previous declaration of `putp'

/usr/include/term.h:1207: error: conflicting types for `vidputs'

/usr/local/include/ncurses/ncurses.h:716: error: previous declaration of `vidputs'

In file included from tui/tui.c:48:

/usr/include/term.h:1209:31: macro "resetterm" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0

/usr/include/term.h:1209:46: macro "fixterm" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0

/usr/include/term.h:1209:62: macro "saveterm" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0

 

Version 6.2 of gdb builds just fine on the same system using the same compiler and ncurses.  I noticed a difference in gdb/gdb_curses.h going from 6.2 to 6.3.

 

I have not done any further investigation of the cause of this, mostly because I can live with gdb 6.2.  I also wanted to see if this was already reported and maybe corrected.  If not, let me know and I can do more investigation and see if I can give you corrected versions of files I find necessary to change.
