This doesn't seem right, ncurses-devel would be required in makedepends to be able to build with it.

ncurses-devel was already in makedepends, which is why this PR doesn't add it. I'm away from my computer for a few days, but I can take another look when I return

In this case it already links against libcurses and therefor already automatically depends on ncurses-libs, so this shouldn't added.

Thank you, you are correct; I've removed the extraneous dependency and can confirm that the curses interface still works without it

This change builds Nethack with support for the (optional) curses interface, allowing you to use
OPTIONS=windowtype:cursesin your.nethackrc. This offers better support for larger terminal windows than the default tty interface.Testing the changes
