Add Avrdude build version into avrdude.conf

[Youw]

Resolves: #1475

[Youw]

NOTE: I have not tested autotools changes.

[mcuee]

Yes this works fine for CMake build.

The latest comit from https://github.com/Youw/avrdude/tree/main is 7cf7c73

MINGW64 /c/work/avr/avrdude_test/avrdude_pr1542/build_mingw64_nt-10.0-22621/src
$ cat avrdude.conf | grep avrdude_version
avrdude_version = "7.2-20231028 (7cf7c73)";

NOTE: I have not tested autotools changes.

No problem. And it indeed does not work. But this is okay, we can leave that to @dl8dtl or someone else.

MINGW64 /c/work/avr/avrdude_test/avrdude_pr1542/src

$ ./avrdude.exe
Usage: avrdude [options]
Options:
  -p <partno>            Specify AVR device; -p ? lists all known parts
  -p <wildcard>/<flags>  Run developer options for matched AVR devices,
                         e.g., -p ATmega328P/s or /S for part definition
  -b <baudrate>          Override RS-232 baud rate
  -B <bitclock>          Specify bit clock period (us)
  -C <config-file>       Specify location of configuration file
  -c <programmer>        Specify programmer; -c ? and -c ?type list all
  -c <wildcard>/<flags>  Run developer options for matched programmers,
                         e.g., -c 'ur*'/s for programmer info/definition
  -A                     Disable trailing-0xff removal for file/AVR read
  -D                     Disable auto erase for flash memory; implies -A
  -i <delay>             ISP Clock Delay [in microseconds]
  -P <port>              Connection; -P ?s or -P ?sa lists serial ones
  -r                     Reconnect to -P port after "touching" it; wait
                         400 ms for each -r; needed for some USB boards
  -F                     Override invalid signature or initial checks
  -e                     Perform a chip erase
  -O                     Perform RC oscillator calibration (see AVR053)
  -t                     Run an interactive terminal when it is its turn
  -T <terminal cmd line> Run terminal line when it is its turn
  -U <memtype>:r|w|v:<filename>[:format]
                         Carry out memory operation when it is its turn
                         Multiple -t, -T and -U options can be specified
  -n                     Do not write to the device whilst processing -U
  -V                     Do not automatically verify during -U
  -E <exitsp>[,<exitsp>] List programmer exit specifications
  -x <extended_param>    Pass <extended_param> to programmer, see -xhelp
  -v                     Verbose output; -v -v for more
  -q                     Quell progress output; -q -q for less
  -l logfile             Use logfile rather than stderr for diagnostics
  -?                     Display this usage

avrdude version 7.2-20230720, https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude

$ cat avrdude.conf | grep avrdude_version
avrdude_version = "@AVRDUDE_FULL_VERSION@";

No problem. And it indeed does not work. But this is okay, we can leave that to @dl8dtl or someone else.

I will take the liberty and merge this PR now as it sorted out the issue with the main CMake build system.

@mcuee it would be great if you gave us some time to rewiew before merging. There's no rush 😊

I would suggest to move the Avrdude version to the top of the file (or almost at the top) instead of line 436.

[mcuee]

Sorry about this. I was too eager to merge the PR as @Youw is rather busy and I do not want him to spend too much time on this one.

Now that the foundation is there, you or others can further improve.

@Youw

I think @MCUdude's comment is valid. If it is not too troublesome, is it possible for you to create a new PR to move the version to the top of the file? Thanks.

[MCUdude]

@mcuee I can do that of @Youw is busy

@MCUdude
Thanks. Please go ahead.

I'm no autotools expert (nor user for that matter), but my guess is that one more line is missing to make it work:

AC_SUBST(AVRDUDE_FULL_VERSION, $AVRDUDE_FULL_VERSION)

[Youw]

maybe even:

AC_SUBST(AVRDUDE_FULL_VERSION, '$(VERSION)')

instead
