Overlooking the excess dots, which indicate  you didn't quote exactly 
what happened, you would have to look back into why your build failed to 
create gstdint.h, or why it didn't find that file, if it did create it.  
gstdint.h would normally be a slightly augmented copy of stdint.h.  
Sometimes it is possible to paper over the problem by simply copying it 
yourself to a location in the search path.
