Are you compiling as C or C++?

[TaskB4r]

Not exactly sure. The source files are in C though.

EDIT: Im compiling in C++, I just checked

Just how sure are you? bool exists in C++ and not in C, and the error you're getting is exactly what you'd see if you were compiling it as C.

Does the following compile?

int main()
{
bool fullscreen = false;
return 0;
}
