tracker receives no name

[acochrane]

It seems like everything is working on the driver side, but the device name for my tracker is empty

is there a way to force the device to be named?

Is this perhaps a consequence of using the hidapi?

[jodusan]

@asymingt is it possible not to use hidapi?

Yes, I think libsurvive has an option to disable it: https://github.com/cntools/libsurvive/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L28

You can just pass -DENABLE_HIDAPI=FALSE to it from this project's CMakeLists.txt and that should do it.
