Hi,
I'm using ncurses-5.7, but I can't compile ncurses successful,

I found lib_get_wch.c:57 is : make an error, so I think it is because
ncurses can't identify "make an error" symbol,
but I don't know what lead to this problem.
The configure script was not able to find the functions it's looking for.
In context, lib_get_wch.c has
#if HAVE_MBTOWC && HAVE_MBLEN
#define reset_mbytes(state) mblen(NULL, 0), mbtowc(NULL, NULL, 0)
#define count_mbytes(buffer,length,state) mblen(buffer,length)
#define check_mbytes(wch,buffer,length,state) \
(int) mbtowc(&wch, buffer, length)
#define state_unused
#elif HAVE_MBRTOWC && HAVE_MBRLEN
#define reset_mbytes(state) init_mb(state)
#define count_mbytes(buffer,length,state) mbrlen(buffer,length,&state)
#define check_mbytes(wch,buffer,length,state) \
(int) mbrtowc(&wch, buffer, length, &state)
#else
make an error
#endif
So it's missing one or both parts of one of the first #if/#elif checks.
Your command-line suggests you're cross-compiling; perhaps those functions
are not found in the corresponding library (or else there's some issue
with the configure script). Current code probably will configure the
same for this slice - I don't recall changing it recently except to
move the ifdef's here up a level (as part of last year's refactoring).
