Actually, bison and flex shouldn’t be needed unless you’re compiling Asterisk 1.0 (which has been obsolete for quite some time now). Another useful hint is to run “make menuselect” in the Asterisk source tree. Then, you can see which modules will not be compiled based on unsatisfied dependencies.
You are correct, though, that libncurses5-dev and build-essential are the minimum requirements.
