The standard necessary is just:
 ./configure

Everything else is optional additions to make the install fit into your
specific OS or provide extra fuctionality.

The options you are using should be fine.

Though you do not need to add the auth ones since auth is all enabled by
default. And it would make things a little easier if you used these ones
from the official package though:
  --with-default-user=squid
  --with-filedescriptors=16384

What C++ compiler did you have installed instead of gcc-c++ ?
