Thread: Error message in .h file

Here is a piece of code from my lib.h file:

Code:

typedef struct list List;

extern List *insertList (char *head, List *tail);
extern List *makeList (FILE *fp);
extern void printList (List *aList);
extern List *nospaceList (List *h);
extern void *wordCompare (List *aList, char *word);

This worked when I compiled it with gcc in linux. However, when i compiled the same code in Pelles C for windows, it came out with the following errors:
error #2001: Syntax error; found '*' expecting ')'
and
Extraneous old-style parameter list


these error messages are both for the line, extern List *makeList (FILE *fp);
