unknown type name 'uint8_t', MinGW

Question

I get \"unknown type name \'uint8_t\'\" and others like it using C in MinGW. Any ideas how to solve this?

Answer 1

I had to include "PROJECT_NAME/osdep.h" and that includes the os specific configurations.

I would look in other files using the types you are interested in and find where/how they are defined (by looking at includes).
