Seems you don't have included "windows.h"...

You (or your editor) messed up the makefile. Before commands there MUST be a 
tabulator as a separator...

: - This one is driving me crazy, 

: #include <stdio.h>
: #include <string.h>

: int main()
: {


: 	char bytes[10];			
: 	strcpy(bytes, "0");
: 	
: 	char date[11];
: 	strcpy(date, "01:01:1980");  
: 	

: return 0;

: }	

You can't declare variables in the middle of a block in C! Only at the beginning.
You can do 
 {
   char bytes[10];
   strcpy(bytes, "0");
   {
       char date[11];
       strcpy(date, "01:01:1980");
   }	
   return 0;
 }


but I don't think that's what you want to do, because "date" would only live in
the inner block...
