It doesn't build for me since the include directory and library directory is missing.
The attached patch fixes this, it also includes testing for ncurses and asks the user to install it if not found. Did the check because find_package(Curses REQUIRED) didn't fail if ncurses is not installed even if CURSES_NEED_NCURSES is set to TRUE.

With ncurses installed this works in 5.0.0. so I close this ticket as solved OpenIndiana passes all tests.
