ncspot: Failing to build on NetBSD

Hopefully someone running ncspot on OpenBSD can help me here. I’m really keen to get this working on my NetBSD machine but I get a build error:

$ cargo run --no-default-features --features portaudio_backend,cursive/pancurses-backend 
...
error: failed to run custom build command for `ncurses v5.99.0`

Caused by:

Awesome, out of curiosity: how was the issue with the incorrectly displayed characters fixed?

It hasn’t really, I don’t have a Spotify account, but I’m convinced its an UTF-8 issue. I’ve decided to import the package and if it happens to someone else, take it from there.

@Ramiferous also said the software has been working fine for him otherwise.
