After having a short glance, it seems the file src/mytypes.h having the
typedef for BOOL.

- Are you missing that file?
- Did you try a `make clean` first?
- Try not using parallelity in make (so: do NOT use -j…)
- Where did you get the source from? (tarball, git, …?)
- Can you try with pristine source and simply copy the src/EDITME to
Local/Makefile, then iterativly set the required options (should be
about 3…5) and retry?
