I'm after little help. I'm working on a hobby project to create a mouse from an Arduino with an accelerometer.

For part of this I need to change the firmware on the atmega16u2. I have a mac so to do this I am trying to use the dfu-programmer.

When I use the ./bootstrap.sh command line in terminal I get the following error messages displayed. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what they mean and if this would prevent the program from working ?

DJ:dfu-programmer-0.6.2 hd334$ ./bootstrap.sh
sh: autom4te: command not found
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 127
./bootstrap.sh: line 3: autoheader: command not found
sh: autoconf: command not found
automake: error: autoconf failed with exit status: 127
./bootstrap.sh: line 5: autoconf: command not found
DJ:dfu-programmer-0.6.2 hd334$

You need to install autom4te, autoheader, autoconf, libusb-compat and libusb before executing dfu-programmer.

All those auto* prerequisites are included in autoconf package. I recommend you to install home-brew package manager. It can do these things automatically. Although there is dfu-programmer package in the repository, so you can install it automatically too.

  • To install home-brew, run this command in your Terminal:

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

  • Recommended: After that, install dfu-programmer with this command:

    brew install dfu-programmer

  • If you want to install prerequisites only, run this command:

    brew install autoconf libusb libusb-compat

    then rerun ./bootstrap.sh.
