The variables are CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. I have this situation on a
Sun machine. I downloaded and installed ncurses under
/home/garyjohn/src/SunOS/ncurses-5.4. Here is how I build vim:
export CPPFLAGS="-I/home/garyjohn/src/SunOS/ncurses-5.4/include/ncurses"
export LDFLAGS="-L/home/garyjohn/src/SunOS/ncurses-5.4/lib"
./configure --prefix=/home/garyjohn/src/SunOS/vim-7.0 --with-tlib=ncurses
--enable-cscope
make
make install
