• https://gist.github.com/nicholashagen/5306330

$ cd ~/hdhomerun/
$ wget http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/libhdhomerun_20180817.tgz
$ wget http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_config_gui_20180817.tgz
$ tar xzf hdhomerun_config_gui_20180817.tgz 
$ tar xzf libhdhomerun_20180817.tgz 

I tried

$ cd hdhomerun_config_gui/
$ ./configure
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) were not met:
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

so then

$ cd hdhomerun_config_gui/
$ make
$ sudo make install
(ignoring request to make install)
$ which hdhomerun_config 
/usr/bin/hdhomerun_config
$ ls -Ftl /usr/bin/hdhomerun_config 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75848 Aug 21 20:39 /usr/bin/hdhomerun_config*

not sure why my build didn't install, however, the date on the existing one looks like it is the current version.
