Before this change, errors had been thrown that ncursesw/curses.h is
not found etc.

This change fixes it (I've now successfully build this on my arch linux
setup)

Hello, could you explain what does this mean? Should I manually symlink /usr/include/ncursesw/curses.h to /usr/include/ncurses.h? That's probably not what you meant:D

This means that you replaced the libncursesw5-dev package with libncurses5-dev. It's worth it?

I originally came across this #297 (comment) when trying to debug the broken build process on arch linux.

The change I made here fixed it for me, but I don't know if it doesn't break for other systems because I cannot test it out, but I for sure know that it worked for me.

Let's wait what @dvorka will say.
