The relevant lines in configure.in are:
"""
AC_CHECK_LIB(boost_regex, [main], [], [echo "Error no boost library found!"
          exit -1
          ])

AC_CHECK_HEADERS(boost/regex.hpp)
"""

As you can see, there's no explicit dependence on some particular -dev
package, it just needs the header and the library to exist.
If ./configure is failing it's because one or the other of those is not
in your include path or library path respectively.
