Hmmm... not sure on this one. It looks like it's not pulling in the header
that has uint8_t. That should be in stdint.h which came in with C99.

You might check dbus-cxx-config.h and see if the stdint.h line is included.

You might also try adding one of the following to types.h:

#include <cstdint>

or

#include <stdint.h>

If that works I'll add it to the next release.
