stuck on a github build

Question

i would like to install this github program. https://github.com/ChrisLuck/ut71dmm

made directory (in home) ut71dmm
unzipped the downloaded github .zip file into that directory
tried to followed the readme from there.

• cd into ut71dmm
• clone hidapi: git clone git://github.com/signal11/hidapi.git
  but tgot the following error msg: No command 'clone' found

also tried:

• git clone hidapi: git clone git://github.com/signal11/hidapi.git
  error: to many arguments.

and

• git clone git://github.com/signal11/hidapi.git
  seemed to work.. at first.
  Cloning into 'hidapi'... remote: Counting objects: 2006, done. remote: Total 2006 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 2006 Receiving objects: 100% (2006/2006), 2.72 MiB | 425.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (1174/1174), done.

but upon make: i got the following error msg:

• gcc -I./hidapi/hidapi -Wall -g -c pkg-config libusb-1.0 --cflags hidapi/libusb/hid.c -o hidapi/libusb/hid.o Package libusb-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libusb-1.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libusb-1.0' found hidapi/libusb/hid.c:47:20: fatal error: libusb.h: No such file or directory include libusb.h>

i understand i messed up.. there :(

and would really appreciate some support to get this up and running..

Kind regards

You need to install the libusb-1.0-0 development package. You can install the package using the apt-get package manager:

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev

needed an additional dependency:

# for a additional missing libudev dependent library. 
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
