When building on Windows you need to explicitly direct cmake to the directories where it can find libUSB and pthreads.

I have updated the instructions on the wiki.

There are also pre-compiled binaries available as part of the PothosSDR packages

Okey, after installing the PhotosSDR packages I can now use my HackRF tools, but when i run hackrf_info, this is the output:

C:\Program Files\PothosSDR\bin>hackrf_info hackrf_info version: git-1ae7c21 libhackrf version: git-1ae7c21 (0.5) Found HackRF Index: 0 hackrf_open() failed: Access denied (insufficient permissions) (-1000)

Any clue how I can get access to the HackRF?

This looks like a permission issue. Could you try running the same from a command prompt that you're started with the "run as administrator" option?

Thank you. That helped, and it seems to be working fine now!
