Thank for clarification. The ./configure script is autogenerated - at least this is said in headers "Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.61 for PDCurses 3.4." So, is it a bug in Autoconf? > You might find this to be useful: > > http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/agmartin/pdcurses.git/ I see only two patches, one of which is said to be fixed upstream https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/agmartin/pdcurses.git/tree/debian/patches I can't extract the solution for complication problem from them. > Before noticing this, I would simply build PDCurses with a quick fix > for its configure script bug.

Looks like the file that should be fixed is https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/agmartin/pdcurses.git/tree/configure.ac but I don't understand its semantics well enough to find the problem myself.
