What corresponds to Debian "libncursesw5-dev" in arch? [SOLVED]

I'm trying to build an ncurses radio player from source. The site offering it informs me that building requires "libncursesw5-dev" (Debian). I figured that the 'ncurses' package in CORE would take of the necessary dependcies but apparently not because the build fails with "checking ncursesw/menu.h... no" I can't find other ncurses packages in the repos or AUR. Can anbyody suggest what I'm missing?

Our package puts it here:

$ pacman -Ql ncurses | grep 'menu\.h'
ncurses /usr/include/menu.h

You should be able to accomodate that in ./configure.
