Issues with build and run the package byself

I try to follow the steps in README to build and use local copy for testing reason without installation. This issue documents my steps and caveats, maybe you can explain more in readme

Building the package by yourself Dependencies installed (I think so). Some packages I did not found in Gentoo portage: dev-python/libusb1 is in guru overlay only ioctl-opt is not available trough package manager, therefore installed using pip.

$ python3 -m build --wheel
[... lot of output ...]
Successfully built sccontroller-0.4.9.9.dev1+g6254f42-cp312-cp312-linux_x86_64.whl

$ python3 -m installer --destdir="./build" dist/*.whl
[... no output ...] 

$ ./build/usr/bin/sc-controller
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from scc.bin.sc_controller import main

Via Python venv through run.sh

$ ./run.sh
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc not found, install it. The package is usually named gcc!

gcc is installed, but the binary is called x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc, or just gcc

Next try:

sccontroller is already installed with the same version as the provided wheel. Use --force-reinstall to force an installation of the wheel.

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 24.2 -> 24.3.1

got it run using

$ PATH="$PWD/build/usr/bin:$PATH" ./run.sh

The path should be adjusted in run.sh

Now the launch appears .. but the daemon is not running

Now I am able to test the sc-controller ;-) I'm sure it should be easier
