Thanks for the detailed reporting! In this new version, dump1090 uses cmake for building and compiling the code so, try the following steps to build the code

$ git clone https://github.com/openskynetwork/dump1090-hptoa.git
$ cd dump1090-hptoa/
$ mkdir build && cd build/
$ cmake ../
$ make

After that, you will get the dump1090-hptoa binary.

Thanks. Could built it as you guided. P.S.

1. Had to use sudo before mkdir, cmake, and make
2. Had to use ./ before dump1090 in run command.

To run:

$ sudo systemctl stop dump1090-mutability

$ cd dump1090-hptoa/build
$ sudo ./dump1090 --enable-hptoa PeakPulse --interactive

CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE LARGER SIZE

That's correct.

Keep in mind that to see the high precision timestamp that this version provides you should run without "--interactive" mode.

I agree that this is supposed to be used with cmake. do you intend on updating the Debian package?

I think the configuration files are not correct. I'll take a look more in depth later.

I ask, because I was going to add this as a automated build for my docker image and I use dpkg-buildpackage for the dump1090-mutability to move the .deb and install it.

And since this is just adding some code ;)
