[Hackrf-dev] How to update Hackrf-tools?

[Martin Müller]

To build the host tools you need to be in the subdirectory „host“. There should be a CMakeLists.txt file, but you reference it from the newly created build directory after changing into that. More detailed instructions are in the host/README.md file (also online at [1]).

Hope that helps
