[Live-devel] Breaking change

[Jeff Shanab]

I am updating live555 from 2012.2.29 to 2013.03.07 and found a change in Boolean.hh that breaks my build. From reading the changelog, I think this is recent.

The line
    " #define Boolean bool "

Overwrites a class name in boost  (move.cpp)  where there is a class with the name Boolean

In the past I have had this collide with libavcodec. So I end up modifying this file every time I upgrade.
Is the problem  a tough one to fix for live555?  too many years of too many people doing their own thing. (amazing for only two states how many conflicting definitions there are)

Is there a long term solution? Take it out of preprocessing with a typedef? Or *cough* rework live555 to have it's own bool type and one header to map that to all the platforms?

I just remove the second part of the condition so it disables the first case (lines 20-22), But I have not used Borland for years.
