I can only deduce that windows.h is leaving an JlR> open ifdef or has unterminated strings or something silly. it's easy to find out what the reason is. gcc has a very useful option '--save-temps'. it instructs preprocessor, compiler and assembler to leave their temporary files in place, so if you compiling, say, zzz.c, you'll get zzz.i (output of preprocessor), zzz.s (assembly source -- output of compiler) and zzz.o (compiled binary object). You want to look into zzz.i it shows what your source file turns into, and it's almost always easy to see why.
