hey guys
i don't have experience with avr and i need to connect a crystal oscillator to it and i don't know what that required i mean in the code to active external oscillator ..can anyone answer my question :???:
 

The external crystal oscillator can be enabled with setting fuse bit in atmega8

BE CAREFUL WHILE CHANGING FUSEBITS

Best of luck
 

There is no code needed all is done using fuses setting during programming,

You can calculate the fuses needed for the crystal with this online calculator (or the datasheet of course)
AVR8 Burn-O-Mat avrdude GUI

or you can use the program as a front end to avrdude and program the chip directly with the selected setting.

You have to select your mcu model, open the oscillator tab, and select the clock source and speed you want.
