	Hi.

 This all can be simply explained. The type 'bool' exists in c++ internaly
or defined as the 'char' type in some header, but in plain c the
'bool' type is undefined, so you _have_ to typedef it from some type. In
your case 'bool' type was defined from 'int' type, included from some
mbuff header. The simple solution is to use/define your own type like :

typedef unsigned char Bool;
....
