ugrep: Build failure on Ubuntu 18 wiht error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_regex

These two commands didn’t help hence the issue:

$ autoreconf -fi
$ ./build.sh

Failed to build ugrep: please run the following two commands:
$ autoreconf -fi
$ ./build.sh

Seems that sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev fixes this problem but issue https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep/issues/63 stops build.

defining the macro as documented in lz4 helps. Thanks
