standard boolean c

[terryc321]

use standard boolean c library allows compilation to complete otherwise gcc clang complain and stop with error

Just use CC='cc -std=gnu99' or something (ditto for CXX) to compile on your system. Self sources can still be compiled on quite old systems (e.g. macosx/powerpc with gcc 4.0). Your system compiler might have switched to C23 by default, but that doesn't mean you have to use that default to compile Self.

Note also, that non-vintage clang (13+, iirc) miscompiles Self and cannot be used.

FWIW, I've just compiled with gcc 15 on native i386 using:

export CC='cc -std=gnu99 -no-pie -fno-pie'
export CXX='c++ -std=c++03 -no-pie -fno-pie'

(PIE is tangential to the point).

C++ needs std tuned down b/c of more strict checks for std::nullptr_t conversions in the xlib glue code.
