Hello Carlo,

can you test the screen-v4 branch? I think it should be fixed (I applied some patches already).

Apologies for missing your reply.

To clarify: the patches I linked to fix the build problem. You do not need to run macOS to test them. The failure should be reproducible with a recent version of Clang, or by setting `-Werror=implicit-function-déclaration`.

Hi Carlo,

just to be clear.
So, you have patches, right? And you can't build GNU Screen anyway? So, these patches do not fix the build problem?

Or it works well and you just want to have it in upstream?

Hi,

unfortunately, I don't have macOS and can't test/build screen sources there.
Can you provide a patch that fix this build problem?

Cheers,
Alex

Hi,

I'm a maintainer of Homebrew (a macOS package manager) and we're trying to build packages on the newly released macOS 11.0 and its counterpart Xcode 12 release. GNU Screen v4.8.0 fails to build:

```
configure: checking select with  -lnet -lnsl...
configure: error: !!! no select - no screen
```

and later

```
configure: error: !!! no tgetent - no screen
```

Upon investigation, it seems like it fails because Clang 12 requires functions to be defined before use.

There exist some patches elsewhere that fix this by `include`ing the right headers, for example, this set from MacPorts: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/38df2ef467d4bcce657e8b8d36735c1fc9bb64eb.

Thanks,

Issy.
