Trouble with Cross Compiling Asterisk

Question

I've trying to Cross Compile Asterisk for Armhf platform.
I was using g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf && gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf packages for cross-compiling Asterisk with 2 following prerequisite :
SQlite3 :

./configure --prefix=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc make && make install

Ncurses :

./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ make && make install

When I cross compile Asterisk :

./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --prefix=MY_RESULT_DEST_DIR --disable-xmldoc --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu make menuselect && make && make install

It works great, but thing I dont understand is that why the configure script recognize my ncurses && sqlite3 result directory?

Bug appears when I install ncurses and sqlite3 on particular directories, and then configure asterisk source with 2 params --with-ncurses && --with-sqlite3,

./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --prefix=MY_RESULT_DEST_DIR --disable-xmldoc --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-ncurses=NCURSES_RESULT --with-sqlite3=SQLITE3_RESULT

It works for configuring but failed for making, and the following error thrown with make

checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
configure: error: termcap support not found
make[1]: * [editline/libedit.a] Error 1
make: * [main] Error 2

So, what should I do to fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Yeah, thank you arheops.

I did edit the main/editline/configure file by turning ac_cv_lib_$ac_lib_var into yes to bypass the termcap checking when running make, and it works all the time.

if { (eval echo configure:1282: \"$ac_link\") 1>&5; (eval $ac_link) 2>&5; } && t$
  rm -rf conftest*
  eval "ac_cv_lib_$ac_lib_var=yes"
else
  echo "configure: failed program was:" >&5
  cat conftest.$ac_ext >&5
  rm -rf conftest*
  eval "ac_cv_lib_$ac_lib_var=yes"
fi
