On macOS (Mojave 10.4.6) I have the error:

± make
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make  all-recursive
Making all in mac
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
Making all in hidtest
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `hidtest.cpp', needed by `hidtest.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

This is a regression caused by d98c408ed3

If I rename the source code to hidtestx.c and adapt the Makefile.am I fix the issue.

I don't know why it fails. Maybe make is confused because the directory, the source code and the target have the same name?

Duplicate of #108

actually it affects all platforms - no one cared to update manual Makefiles

@z3ntu suggests a fix for it: https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/issues/108#issuecomment-544919585

you may still use autotools to generate a working Makefile for it
