Thanks!

It finds ncursesw5-config but not the lib. Looks like a packaging bug in
Ubuntu 12.04.
I guess libncursesw5-dev is not installed but ncursesw5-config is from
the installed ncurses-bin. The config script should be in the dev
packages as well as the .pc files.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/ncurses-bin/filelist
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/libncursesw5-dev/filelist
We don't need to handle such broken installation. In drone.io script you
could try
apt-get install -qq libncursesw5-dev
