pyxcp build error with pip in ubuntu

[JavierCorado]

Attempted to install the latest version of pyxcp (v0.22.1) with pip (pip install pyxcp) and there are issues while building the package:

Saw this in both ubuntu WSL and ubuntu version 22.04.1 running on: x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hello,

The build-system requires cmake, which is missing in your case.

Building pyXCP on Linux is a bit tricky, so I did some Docker experiments and came to the following requirements:

sudo apt install -y pkg-config
sudo apt install -y gcc git libssl-dev python3 python3-pip python3-poetry rustc cargo libffi-dev cmake

And yes, there is a pro-forma source distro for v22.1 on pypi, but I doubt it is complete, so you should
start with a cloned/forked repo.

There will be some smaller updates in the next time (including pre-build Linux packages), so make sure
to install pyXCP in editable mode:

pip3 install -e .

The next thing I observed on Linix:
Even if poetry should install pybind11, cmake may unable to locate it, in this case, just manually

pip3 install pybind11

Hope it helps.

I was able to Install pyxcp v0.22.1 locally with pip3 install -e . I will be taking a look at those new features that v0.22.1 has

Thanks for the help!
