[yocto] Unable to find the ncurses libraries when running menuconfig

[Nick D'Ademo]

Thanks Nick.

Machine conf is as follows (it's actually nearly identical to nuc.conf -
however, BT support, multilib, and preferred providers have been added):

#@TYPE: Machine
#@NAME: chiefriver

#@WEBTITLE: Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC) Model: DC3217IYE

#@DESCRIPTION: Machine configuration for Intel NUC model DC3217IYE
# i.e. Ivy Bridge + Panther Point

PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto ?= "3.17%"
MACHINE_FEATURES += "va-impl-intel wifi efi bluetooth"
MACHINE_FEATURES += "intel-ucode"

require conf/machine/include/meta-intel.inc
require conf/machine/include/intel-corei7-64-common.inc
require conf/machine/include/intel-common-pkgarch.inc
require multilib.conf

MACHINE_HWCODECS ?= "va-intel gst-va-intel"

XSERVER ?= "${XSERVER_X86_BASE} \
           ${XSERVER_X86_EXT} \
           ${XSERVER_X86_I965} \
           "

MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS += "linux-firmware-iwlwifi-6000g2b-6 lms8"

# disable the serial port configuration
SERIAL_CONSOLE = ""

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_jpeg = "jpeg"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_jpeg-native = "jpeg-native"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/fftw = "fftw"
