I need to define NCURSES_INTERNALS in py_curses.h before ncurses.h is included, even on my Linux system with ncurses-5.9.

See the same issue for cygwin: 14438

You should remove the old code instead of comment it.

+/* NOTE configure check if ncurses require such definition
 #define NCURSES_OPAQUE 0
+*/

+/* NOTE configure check for existence of flags
+ * Also flags are visible only if WINDOW structure is not opaque
 #ifndef WINDOW_HAS_FLAGS
 #define WINDOW_HAS_FLAGS 1
 #endif
+*/

I rewrote the patch for Python 3.4.
The configure and pyconfig.h.in were generated by autoreconf.

If evaluate to the curses WINDOW doesn't have the _flags member,
The configure script defines related macros and checks the member again.
And removed the quick-fix on py_curses header.  The quick-fix wouldn't be needed.

My environment (Cygwin 1.7.35 i686) cannot check the build case that NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined zero.

Is this issue superseded by issue25720?
msg305392 - (view) Author: Masayuki Yamamoto (masamoto) * Date: 2017-11-01 18:57
Probably, yes.  ncurses on Cygwin has provided is_pad() [*]. In addition, the old version of Cygwin will become to not define WINDOW_HAS_FLAGS by issue25720.

[*] newer version than patchlevel 20090906 was provided on Cygwin in 2009.
