Thank you very much for reporting this.

It is the responsibility of the program using lzlib to include some header 
that declares the type 'uint8_t'. 'lzlib.h' can be used by C and C++ 
programs, and therefore it must not impose a choice of header on the 
program. AFAIK, there are at least 4 headers to choose from: 'stdint.h', 
'cstdint', 'inttypes.h', and 'cinttypes'.

I'll document in the manual and in 'lzlib.h' itself the need of including 
one of those headers before including 'lzlib.h'.

Best regards,
Antonio.
