Nevermind, I figured it out!
cd into the dir where you downloaded lede-project
$ mkdir package/libs/libugpio/
$ cd package/libs/libugpio/
$ wget https://dev.openwrt.org/export/35269/packages/libs/libugpio/Makefile
$ cd -
$ ./scripts/feeds update -a
$ ./scripts/feeds install libugpio
$ make menuconfig
Select Libraries, go down to 'libugpio' and press 'M'
save changes and exit
then build it:
$ make -j4
