libncurses not Linking on MacOSX

[Naman Govil]

Hi,

I am trying to install ncurses ( for make menuconfig ) on my mac os 10.9.
I installed ncurses using its homebrew/dupes formula.

$brew tap hombrew/dupes
$brew install ncurses
$brew link ncurses

My /usr/lib/ also shows libncurses.5.4.dylib, libncurses.5.dylib, libncurses.dylib.

But the compiler doesn't seem to link to it. I get this error from make V=1 menuconfig :

cc -g -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>" -DLOCALE -DKBUILD_NO_NLS build/util/kconfig/mconf.o build/util/kconfig/zconf.tab.o build/util/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o build/util/kconfig/lxdialog/util.o build/util/kconfig/lxdialog/inputbox.o build/util/kconfig/lxdialog/textbox.o build/util/kconfig/lxdialog/yesno.o
build/util/kconfig/lxdialog/menubox.o  -o
build/util/kconfig/mconf

Also, a script which is supposed to return the compiler options to link in libncurses returns nothing, indicating that gcc cannot link to ncurses.

Can someone help me on this and point me to a possible solution.

Regards,
Naman
