These steps worked for me on Ubuntu 18.4 (note I had to install the pkg-config package):

sudo apt install -y autoconf automake build-essential python-dev libtool libssl-dev pkg-config
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/facebook/watchman.git
cd watchman/
git checkout v4.9.0
./autogen.sh 
./configure 
make
sudo make install

Working! thx!!

./configure --without-python --without-pcre --enable-lenient

did the trick on 19.04

I updated the script with all the comments mentioned here, ie. pkg-config and --enable-lenient

Another way more easiest is sudo apt install watchman
