How to build u2f-test/HID under Mac

[stephenwwu]

I try to build the code under Mac, but failed. What is the build environment requirements? Error message:

make: *** No rule to make target hidapi/mac/hid.c', needed by hid.o'. Stop.

I cloned both source codes side-by-side with u2f-ref-code already. It still can't find hid.c. What settings should I change to make it built?

Run the git clone commands in the HID subdirectory; the super simplistic Makefile assumes these as subdirectories thereof. Or modify the Makefile to look for these sources where you put them.

It is not clear in the instruction. Cloning another repo to a subdirectory of another repo doesn't look like a good practice to me. How about add something like $(HIDAPI_PATH) in the make file, and remind user to set the path to the right location?
