Approximately two years ago I was able to compile an older version of avrdude-build-script on a x86-pc running Linux Mint 18 or 19. Now I tried to compile the official release on both platforms Linux Mint and Arch GNU/Linux, but it didn't work.

Some packages "libncurses, libusb and eudev" were old and caused compile failure. For example C++17 doesn't support dynamic throwing of exceptions anymore, keyboard_lookup_key(…register len size_t previously had to be changed to …register unsigned (long) int len to avoid a "different type error" and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) still has to be commented out, which is done by libhidapi buildfile.

After I updated these old packages, changed the version numbers and fixed the other errors by editing the build scripts, everything compiles without manual intervention now.

The issues #19, #26 and arduino/Arduino#5094 should be solved this way too.
