But the error only mentioned Bison and not flex or other dependencies

the 'configure' script is comprehensive.
one would see lines like
...
checking for bison... /usr/bin/bison
configure: using bison (GNU Bison) 3.6.3
checking for flex... /usr/bin/flex
configure: using flex 2.6.4
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
configure: using perl 5.30.3
checking for a sed that does not
truncate output... /usr/bin/sed
checking for grep that handles long
lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep
checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E
checking for ANSI C header files... yes
...
and beyond that all the errors (if any)
are written to log file.
However, this is a case of PEBCAK.
five discrete steps pasted into a batch
file doesnot a automation make !
