compilation failure on debian 4 latest

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. tar xvfj acer_acpi-0.11.1.tar.bz2
2. cd acer_acpi-0.11.1
3. make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get a compilation error:
/usr/src/acer_acpi-0.11.1/wmi-acer.c: In function âwmi_parse_guidâ:
/usr/src/acer_acpi-0.11.1/wmi-acer.c:220: error: âfalseâ undeclared (first

What version of acer_acpi are you using? On which distribution and kernel
version?

Debian 4 latest

That patch doesn't apply here - you seem to have diff'ed against your another 
modification to the file you've made, rather than the original.

You are right, however, that there is a bug, and I've fixed up the include/ 
define 
mess on this in Git now, so this will be fixed in the next release (0.11.2, 
whenever I get round to pushing it out, which will probably be sooner rather 
than 
later).
