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

Cinaed,
This is new ground for me and all I'm looking for is a little friendly
advice. 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.

Hey that is a great way to mask your question - send a digest!
Was your question even in the digest?
In the future, if I want to read a digest, I'm perfectly cable of fetching
it myself.
