Patch works. Just to be sure tried it with both ncurses-5.3 and ncurses-5.4
Besides patching patches, I think you should work with this GPC programmer;

If you really want to program ncurses, program ncurses.
I'll do that for new work.
However, I have a program I wrote two years ago which only reciently broke, and I would prefer not to have to rewrite it just to keep it running.

I have started an ObjWindows unit to serve my goal, framebuffer graphics. I don't pretend my work is a model for anybody. I'm hopelessly slow. But I'll upload meaningful versions and post notices as seems useful.
Midnight Commander is a good ncurses example. The "software label keys" are a nice feature often overlooked. Further, if you press Ctrl-o you toggle a subshell command line. This is also a nice feature overlooked. Also, the gpm mouse is usually compiled into ncurses. Ncurses has very complete color routines, rarely used.
A pascal interface can really improve the many naming issues of ncurses.
