Update README with compilation instructions #172

Open pacho2 opened 3 weeks ago

pacho2 commented 3 weeks ago

Hello,

I want to compile and install weblogo-3.8.0 on a specific (non default) prefix, and I wonder about the right procedure to call setup.py or make. For now, it seems that I need to run:

./setup.py build
./setup.py install --prefix=...

Thanks a lot for documenting it :)

Sadly it seems to later fail to run with:

$ ./weblogo 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 397, in from_name
    return next(cls.discover(name=name))
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
StopIteration

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

WebLogo's configuration is way out of date. I'm going to release a new version 3.9 within a couple of weeks to deal with issues arising from python 3.13, so I'll see if I can fix this up too.
