Hi,

I've just tried to build MPICH-1.2.6 on the current Cygwin release and
have had a problem because "bool_t" isn't defined in "sys/types.h" so that
"rpc/xdr.h" couldn't be compiled. After adding the line "typedef int bool_t;"
to sys/types.h and adding "-lib=-lrpc" to mpich's "configure" (otherwise
the functions "_xdr_*" couldn't be found) I succeded.

I would be grateful if somebody can add the definition for the next release.


Kind regards

Siegmar
