Provide build instructions in README.md

[vittorio88]

Hello,

I am trying to use libwidgetlords on a Raspberry Pi 4 running Ubuntu 20.04.
Since there is no arm64 build provided, I attempted to build the library myself.

I was only able to build the sample binaries using the following meson commands:

meson builddir
cd builddir
ninja

I was not able to build the deb file that seems to be necessary to install overlays in correct locations.

Could you provide build instruction, and possibly place them in the README.md for others to find?

This is something we need to improve for sure. In the mean time you can either copy the built overlay files to /boot/overlays yourself or build the package using debuild. I believe the command to build the package is debuild -us -uc.

Any update on a arm64 build?

We are waiting for 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS to be declared stable.

FYI - I've forked the library and built for arm64. Once Widgetlords supports arm64 officially I will delete my fork. Build confirmed to work as expected on RaspiOS Buster Arm64 / Node-Red.
