>Description:
After upgrade of misc/mc to 4.8.10, there is new option 'ncurses' in option group 'screen'. When option 'slang' was not selected in older version installed (as in 4.8.8 in my case) and I configure port with said new option, 'ncurses', configure fails with following:
checking for ncurses/ncurses.h and ncurses/term.h... no
configure: error: ncurses header not found
===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to fjoe at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/data/workdir/9-i386/usr/ports/misc/mc/work/mc-4.8.10/config.log" including
the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea
to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. a
/usr/sbin/pkg_info -Ea).
*** [do-configure] Error code 1
>How-To-Repeat:
I believe it should appear if you just try to build 4.8.10 version of misc/mc port and select 'ncurses' option and unselect option 'slang' in group 'screen'. This could slip throug as 'slang' is selected by default.
>Fix:
Install devel/ncurses - I think this is forgotten dependency for option 'ncurses'
