Updated makefile and added documentation

[henrythasler]

I created a fork and applied some patches so this software can be run on Ubuntu 20.04 (and probably others). I also added some documentation how to build and use. Maybe this is useful to someone.

Let me know if you are interested in a PR.

Henry, thanks for this effort but alas the world has rotated even more. Now your code will not install either .

jc@Rpi3B-spare:~ $ sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk-media3.0-gtk3-dev
Error: Unable to locate package libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
Error: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev'
Error: Unable to locate package libwxgtk-media3.0-gtk3-dev

Its a real pity - so many references point to 'MotionCal' but it no longer works on Linux or Windows.
My development machine is
System:
Kernel: 6.8.0-101-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 13.3.0
Desktop: Cinnamon v: 6.6.7 tk: GTK v: 3.24.41 wm: Muffin dm: LightDM
Distro: Linux Mint 22.3 Zena base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble

and where the sensor is attached is a Raspberry-Pi 3B+
System:
Kernel: 6.12.75+rpt-rpi-v8 arch: aarch64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 14.2.0
Desktop: LabWC v: N/A dm: LightDM Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)

both of these give the same error as above

I am not competent to build tools like this. No particular action is expected this is mostly a note for those who follow to know they have been led into the wilderness by YouTube or whoever ....
