A release is more than just a tarball of the repository.  What you did will
create a tarball that installs fine but it won't create a configure script.
Without the configure script, there src/Makefile won't be created, so none
of the C++ functions (such as bwlabeln) gets built and installed.

To mimic a release, cd into the repository and enter "make dist".  This
will create a tarball that you can install with "pkg install".  Look into
the Makefile and bootstrap at the root of the repository if you are
interested in details.
