Linux Cross compile Library

I try to use Linaro to cross compile "nano-2.5.3" program for my ARM board. my build platform is linux ubuntu 12.04. I use these commands

export PATH=$PATH:/project/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.03-20130313_linux/bin
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
export ARCH=arm

./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/project/nano

every thing went well then I try to use make

make

after that there is a error :

/usr/include/ncursesw/curses.h:60:34: fatal error: ncursesw/ncurses_dll.h: No such file or directory

so i compile a ncurses library with my cross compiler in path "/project/ncurses" and add the include with:

export  CPPFLAGS=-I/project/ncurses/include/ncurses

and do over again. but no luck I tried everything but the cross compiler keep checking the original path here are the full error text:

Found it! the problem was from the library name similarity. I compile "ncurses" library BUT as I search the library name is "ncursesw"! very similar... but yet they are not.
