I'm trying to compile Soarer's Converter on Fedora 29 and running into
typedef problems. This is a somewhat old utility for programming USB
converters for old terminal and XT keyboards based on an Arduino Teensy.
More info here on that here:

I have libusb-devel installed and /usr/include/usb.h and
/usr/include/stdint.h are both present. Running the included makefile
for the Linux build just dumps unknown type name errors for u_int8_t and
u_int16_t:
/usr/include/usb.h:81:2: error: unknown type name ‘u_int8_t’
u_int8_t bLength;
^~~~~~~~
/usr/include/usb.h:82:2: error: unknown type name ‘u_int8_t’
u_int8_t bDescriptorType;
^~~~~~~~
/usr/include/usb.h:87:2: error: unknown type name ‘u_int8_t’
u_int8_t bLength;
^~~~~~~~
Tested compiling the code on Debian and Ubuntu with the equivalent
libraries installed and it produces the binaries just fine, so I must be
missing something on the Fedora procedure. It's almost like it's missing
the stdint.h header but I've verified it's present. The binaries I
compiled on the Debian install even work just fine on F29 which leads me
to believe I'm just missing a -devel package needed to compile it.
Thought maybe it needed the avr-libc package and it's headers but that
didn't seem to help.
Unfortunately the original person who wrote this code has long since
vanished but Teensy stuff is pretty popular so I thought it'd be worth a
shot to ask here! I haven't messed with any other Teensy code myself.
Thanks!
