[avrdude-dev] Building Avrdude 5.0cvs on FreeBSD

[User Tomdean]

I checked-out avrdude and all looked as I expected.  I cannot get a
proper Makefile generated.

I am running FreeBSD 5.4.  I am using the gnu tools from the ports
tree. /usr/local/gnu-autotools/bin/...

I have not used autoconf for long time.  I think this shows below.

Autoheader 2.59 generates config.h.in, but all the *.c files want
ac_cfg.h.  How do I get configure to NOT want install-sh?  If I
'touch' the missing files, I get a Makefile.in and configure will run,
but the resulting Makefile is useless.

I guess I need to be guided thru this.
