Description If you want to install with "pip install ." on an Raspberry Pi 4 (aarch64), you are receiving the following error message:

      compilation terminated.

Code To Reproduce Error 1) Clone the repo 2) Set the Python environment 3) Enter "pip install ." 4) SEAL can not be built for aarch64

Expected behavior SEAL will be built

Workaround Clone the MS SEAL Project and build for aarch64

Setup:

I want to suggest a more maintainable solution of dependencies (like SEAL). Other projects are using makefiles with the feature to fetch special versions. Then you don't need "git clone" in your repository. Here is such an example for SEAL: https://github.com/OpenMined/TenSEAL/blob/main/cmake/seal.cmake

Is that a possible solution for you as a replacement of the old SEAL version from 2 years ago?

@skriesch I'll take a look!
