Missing alsa deps for mod-ui & jack

I’m following the local setup instructions for mod-ui on Ubuntu.

https://github.com/moddevices/mod-ui/blob/master/README.rst

But when it gets to the build step make finds alsa and then jack is missing.

Should it be added to the deps listed at the start of the readme?

I installed ‘libasound2-dev’ & ‘libjack-dev’

I also needed to add jackd2 for jack_control

I’m happy to raise a PR

(modui-env) steve@SP4-MUSIC:~/mod-ui/utils$ make Package alsa was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containingalsa.pc’
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I update the readme now regarding this and a few other points

Thank you - also mod-base needs some update I think.At least I was unable to build following instructions
