You need to checkout/cd into the hackrf project from git first: git clone https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf cd hackrf mkdir host/build cd host/build cmake .. make sudo make install sudo ldconfig

My questions are relevant to this forum because they have to do with device specific installation instructions. I'm an old (69yo) analog vacuum tube guy trying to make it in the digital age. I would like to play with my HackRF instead of spending countless hours just trying to understand the nuances between OS, different versions of Ubuntu, different versions of hackrf software, different dependencies, etc which still have left me un able to communicate with my HackRF yielding -- 'hackrf_open() failed: HACKRF_ERROR_LIBUSB (-1000)' I would like to install the hackrf software on to a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. I did an update and upgrade afterwards then the only installation instructions I could find for the 2017 hackrf version was in current hackrf github repository host README.md. The file says ##How to build the host software on Linux: ###Prerequisites for Linux (Debian/Ubuntu): sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libusb-1.0-0-dev pkg-config libfftw3-dev So I ran it and it did its thing without errors. Next instruction says: ###Build host software on Linux: mkdir host/build cd host/build cmake .. make sudo make install sudo ldconfig I could not get past the first line, even running it as sudo but Google is good and said the current version of Ubuntu wants : 'mkdir -p host/build' OK that works and cd host/build and ran cmake .. It could not find the CMakeLists.txt in host or host/build. I hope you can sympathize with me--- the noobie -- who just bought a HackRF One wanting to jump into the game and I cannot get through the front door. Sorry for the mini-digest but I cannot frame my question any more concisely.
