I guess you need something like (this is on debian):

#v+
~$ apt-cache showsrc vim |grep "^Build-Depends"
Build-Depends: autoconf, debhelper (>= 11~), dpkg-dev (>= 1.18.8),
libacl1-dev, libgpmg1-dev [linux-any], libgtk-3-dev, libgtk2.0-dev,
liblua5.2-dev, libperl-dev, libselinux1-dev [linux-any],
libtinfo-dev | libncurses5-dev, libxaw7-dev, libxpm-dev, libxt-dev,
lua5.2, python3-dev, ruby, ruby-dev, tcl-dev
Build-Depends-Indep: docbook-utils, docbook-xml, ghostscript, pdf2svg
~$
#v-

Not sure what you mean with terminal library, but I guess you need
either libtinfo-dev or libncurses5-dev

Which one is better, I don't know and most likely depends on your
definition of better. Note, these are needed only for compilation, not
for the installed packages.

Best,
Christian
