Comment (by Olly Betts):

 Thanks for the patch, but this problem was addressed years ago (2018) by
 f527b61a65f259ce68b11ef9d89a959f5cf62a12 which was in xapian-core 1.4.8 -
 since then the `typedef uint8_t byte;` line isn't present in
 `common/internaltypes.h` (or anywhere else).

 It looks to me like your bug reporter must have been using xapian-core
 1.4.7 or earlier to get this error.

 The use of `using namespace std;` has been cleaned up on git master.  I'm
 reluctant to apply such changes to 1.4.x as they touch a lot of code and
 it's hard to be certain they won't introduce bugs.
