I'm trying to install an additional programmer on avrdude. I intalled avrdude itself, but because it didn't have a makefile I had to do it part by part and it seems the additional programmer wasn't installed in the overall program.
The programs for installing the programmer are ones I downloaded offline from a website for making an avr programmer with a usb keyboard. You can see where I downloaded them about halfway down this starting with github on the page http://wiki.steve-m.de/hidkey_gpio. When I try to compile the hidkey.h or main.c files they complain that I don't have the file ac_cfg.h, when I try to configure the file ac_cfg.h.in, which is in the same folder, using autoconf with the -v tag it seems to stop part of the way through ending with
autom4te: '_AM_COND_ELSE' => 1,
autom4te: 'AC_SUBST_TRACE' => 1
autom4te: }
autom4te: ], 'Autom4te::Request' );

autom4te: allowed tokens: ^$
and no new file is made by the program. I found a site in which a similar was described as a resulting from multiple versions of autom4te, so I deleted every version of autom4te except for the one in the auto tools bin. When I ran it again I had the exact same problem. Has anyone had a similar problem installing a programmer on avrdude? Is there a more obvious way to do that than the one I'm using?
