In include/my_global.h , i made some change：

 /* Define some useful general macros */
-#if !defined(max)
-#define max(a, b)	((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
-#define min(a, b)	((a) < (b) ? (a) : (b))
+#if !defined(mysql_max)
+#define mysql_max(a, b)      ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
+#define mysql_min(a, b)      ((a) < (b) ? (a) : (b))
+static __inline long min( long a, long b ) { return ( ( a < b ) ? a : b ); }
+static __inline long max( long a, long b ) { return ( ( a > b ) ? a : b ); }
 #endif

complie again,  sudo make,  the errors are:

In file included from strxmov.c:33:
../include/my_global.h:1528: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘long’
../include/my_global.h:1528: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘<’ token
../include/my_global.h:1529: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘long’
../include/my_global.h:1529: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘>’ token

Why do you want to compile a discontinued development branch?

Fixed in 6.0.4 if you *really* need to play with the now dead 6.0.x development branch

because I am reading an book and want to develop an storage engine. That book use the source code of mysql-5.1.34. However, I find the code is only similiar to mysql-6.0.0-alpha in the chapter of storage engine , and I must use the branch.

“dead 6.0.x development branch”， why you call it "dead"?  Thank you!

6.0 is not a valid tree anymore.

Please, you need to conduct your experiments with a supported MySQL version.  5.6.10 is a great place to start :)
