"bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel" fails on ncurses dependency

[Mike Looijmans <mike.looijmans@topic.nl>]

I get this when running
bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel

scripts/kconfig/mconf.o: In function `show_help':
mconf.c:(.text+0x884): undefined reference to `stdscr'
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o: In function `print_arrows':
checklist.c:(.text+0x2c): undefined reference to `wmove'
checklist.c:(.text+0x4c): undefined reference to `acs_map'
checklist.c:(.text+0x54): undefined reference to `waddch'
checklist.c:(.text+0x66): undefined reference to `waddnstr'
checklist.c:(.text+0x76): undefined reference to `wmove'

A bit of googling reveals that this is probably due to "ncurses" not being 
present.

I just can't figure out what the proper syntax for this dependency would be. 
menuconfig needs the "native" version, so it's not simply DEPENDS+=ncurses here.


Kind regards,
