./configure complains about syntax error near unexpected token '1.33.1'

[esijg]

Not really sure what to make of this but configure script complains about the following, from master branch.

./configure: line 11710: syntax error near unexpected token `1.33.1'
./configure: line 11710: `AX_BOOST_BASE(1.33.1)'

I have libboost1.67 installed on Ubuntu 19.04

Not sure if related but autogen.sh warns about the following

Makefile.am:14: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
ferro/Makefile.am:13: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')

[esijg]

Those two errors/warnings were unrelated but I fixed them both, see attached patch.
boost error was fixed(?) by getting rid of boost version number in configure.ac

AX_BOOST_BASE takes a version number, so removing it is not the right answer. Maybe you have a really old m4 macro?
