make failed because sed called with wrong options

I compiled v1.4.4 in macOS and make process failed because wrong options for sed:

make: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_Shared_macports_ports_net_purple-telegram/purple-telegram/work/teleg

Here is the offending code in the Makefile:

po/de.po: po/de_DE.po
        sed -re 's/ de_DE/ de/' $< > $@

po/it.po: po/it_IT.po
        sed -re 's/ it_IT/ it/' $< > $@

po/pl.po: po/pl_PL.po
        sed -re 's/ pl_PL/ pl/' $< > $@

po/ru.po: po/ru_RU.po
        sed -re 's/ru_RU/ru/' $< > $@

Earlier releases until v1.3.1 were compiled without problem.

I confirm that once that error fixed (I use perl to edit the Makefile.in), the code was successfully built and installed, then has been working properly.

So what would did you do to make it work? sed -Ee I guess?

Also, have a look at tdlib-purple.
