`make menuconfig` cant find libncurses

Hello,today i trued using buildroot (clones from linux-3ds on github) to build a rootfs image fir linux on 3ds and due to me not having linux on my laptop, wsl bricked, a laptop too weak for a vm and no media to jnstall linux i decuded to use my phone with termux. Upon running make menuconfig i got following error:

*** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
 *** required header files.
 *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
 ***
 *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel or libncurses-dev
 *** depending on your distribution) and try again.

But i have "ncurses" installed and running "gcc -lncurses" doesnt throw an error regarding not finding ncurses, so tgta means it is installed. I'd like know how i can resolve this issue.
