When you encounter compile errors such as the above, run make VERBOSE=1 to
see what the actual compiler commandline is. If that one is missing the
path you think should be there and since your cmake is not built yet, I'd
suggest to trace down how the include-dirs for ncurses end up being given
to the target.
