buildroot fatal error: ncurses/curses.h: No such file or directory for grub

Hi Girls,

Here is my make V=99 output :

$ make V=99
 cd  && /bin/bash ./config.status Makefile 
/bin/bash: ./config.status: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [Makefile] Error 127
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/cscm/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/host/grub-0.97'

make: *** [world] Error 2

The configure script #fail, because libncurses is not avaiable (as you can see in the config.log file) and configure output:

checking ncurses/curses.h usability... no
checking ncurses/curses.h presence... no
checking for ncurses/curses.h... no

configure: creating ./config.status
 cd  && /bin/bash ./config.status Makefile 
/bin/bash: ./config.status: No such file or directory

I'am working on revision 29906.

$  svn update 
At revision 29906.

I suggest to add libncurses as an dependancy for grub, in
package/grub/Makefile :

  DEPENDS:=@TARGET_x86 +libncurses

I've attached the .config and the config.log file.

.config

[mirko]

Reason is $(top_builddir) isn't set.
Installing aclocal (part of automake) is supposed to fix this problem.
