Compile BlueZ on ubuntu: configure error

I tried to compile bluez for ubuntu 18.04 downloading the latest version (5.50) from here.

configure command:

./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-mesh

Fails with the message:

...
checking for ELL... no
configure: error: ell library >= 0.3 is required

I ignore what is ELL and why it is used (nice to know), but the true question is about the missing dependencies to install for getting rid off this error.

Solution

    Might be the Microsoft Embedded Learning Library, but not as likely.
