This is caused by a change in readline library. Older versions of readline provided CPPFunction, in new version it is gone. Solution is to edit c3270.c line 102 and replace CPPFunction with rl_completion_func_t, then it will compile and install fine.

[skissane@…]

patch to c3270 source code that fixes the compilation error

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

See #54369.

[sinskinner (Willian)]

Since this is an old issue, I guess that it is resolved now. I updated the port to the latest available version.
