The book is still showing Lesstif as an optional dependency of Vim.
Lesstif is a dead project which hasn't been updated since 2009.  Lesstif
came into being as a FLOSS replacement for the proprietary Motif.  This no
longer became necessary when the Motif toolkit was released under the LGPL
in 2012.

Regarding the entry in the book, and as Motif is an ongoing project,
perhaps the answer is to now replace Lesstif with Motif.  Vim can be built
with a Motif backend.  The Motif website is http://motif.ics.com/ and the
source code is here https://sourceforge.net/p/motif/code/ci/master/tree/
