Problems with BOOL

Problems with BOOL

[Kevin Wright]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this the correct forum for this. (if not,
please let me know).

Recently, I've been having problems building some software
under cygwin (v1.1.1). I've seen this in a few packages
and one is aterm. Here's the error:

In file included from /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlibint.h:40,
                 from ximage_utils.c:57:
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xproto.h:341: parse error before `BOOL'
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xproto.h:341: warning: no semicolon at end of struct
or union


Is BOOL already defined for cygwin? Do I need to change the code
to use FOOBOOL instead of BOOL?

Thanks in advance,

RE: Problems with BOOL - solution

Well,

I believe I have solved my problem. In the Xmd.h header
file I installed from the xfree86 project (from Dr. Sadiqqi)
has this line commented out. 

/* typedef CARD8           BOOL; */

once I uncommented it, aterm compiled like a charm.

Not sure why it was commented out but it seems to be ok 
like this.
