Thanks.  Separately I developed the attached patch, which checks struct utmp for member ut_tv or ut_time, and uses either one accordingly.  Maybe a better approach?  Anyway it allows screen 4.3.1 to build in Cygwin.

(file #34815)

Yes it fails when there is only utmp.h and no utmpx.h installed.
Will be fixed in 4.3.2 (fix available on screen-v4 branch)

Please reopen this bug.  As the OP pointed out, it exists in screen 4.3.1, not 4.03.0.  I confirm that in the latest Cygwin (2.2.1), build of 4.3.1 fails in utmp.c with

  utmp.c:634:4: error: ‘struct utmp’ has no member named ‘ut_tv’

and indeed, struct utmp has no such element in Cygwin.  From sys/utmp.h:

  struct utmp
  {
   short  ut_type;
   pid_t  ut_pid;
   char   ut_line[UT_LINESIZE];
   char  ut_id[UT_IDLEN];
   time_t ut_time;
   char   ut_user[UT_NAMESIZE];
   char   ut_host[UT_HOSTSIZE];
   long   ut_addr;
  };

What's the right solution?

Just read more closely: it's 4.3.1 that I'm getting the same error building.

Also fails for me under OpenBSD 5.7 amd64.

Please upgrade your cygwin, it builds fine here on fresh install.
