[CMake] Building cmake: ccmake not built

Hi all; I'm tring to build cmake using a cross-compiler environment so
cmake itself will run on a different platform.

It's working well, except that ccmake is not getting compiled (neither
is cmake-gui but that's OK).  I do have curses libraries installed and
other curses programs are built and run OK with these libraries.  So,
it's something in particular that cmake is looking for in the
cross-environment that it can't find.

In the cmake bootstrap.sh output I see this:

  -- Check if the system is big endian - little endian
  Curses libraries were not found. Curses GUI for CMake will not be built.
  -- Looking for elf.h

So that's obviously the problem but I don't know how to move forward.
I've looked in CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log and CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log
but there's nothing related to curses in them that I can find.


Is there some other place I can look to figure out what went wrong?
