HoHow to compile Linux dialog - "curses.h" missing ?

Hi,

I tried native compile Linux dialog for Linux embedded device
and got "curses.h" error message.

As Linux dialog is already compiled and working as Debian .deb package (installed it).
What is a way to import curses.h from other package sources to work for dialog sources compilation in my case ?

What is missing and I was advised to look for
ncurses-devel package.
Unfortunately ncurses-devel has not been compiled as a package either.


Happy New Year

How to compile Linux dialog (curses.h - missing) ?

Hi,

looking for expert's opinion on how to compile Linux dialog for my embedded device (native compilation), as tried and get curses.h messing message.
ncurses-devel package has not been compiled either to provide me with
curses.h .

Dialog is already compiled for Debian as .deb package, I installed and worked smoothly.
