pip and source install issue on linux

[JacksonFurrier]

With python version 3.12.3 I get the following error during the installation of point_cloud_utils:
install_error.txt
Also I've tried to build it from source, however during building the wheel it miserably failed ... :(

Has anybody faced the same issue?

Has anybody figured out how to work around this? Seeing the same thing on ubuntu22.04 on arm64. I just checked the tar.gz here and indeed it misses all the build utils. I think this is just a simple packaging issues. Adding somthing like this to setup(...) in setup.py should fix this:

    include_package_data = True,
    package_data = {
        '': ['CMakeLists.txt', 'src/', 'external/', 'cmake'],
    },

I haven't just yet, I will look after it during the weekend :)

As a workaround you could install directly from git:

pip install git+https://github.com/fwilliams/point-cloud-utils.git

Not optimal, but it works.
