Getting syntax errors from a header included with GCC - c++

Question

I am using Sleep from Windows.h, and when I go to compile it is giving me these errors. I tried googling them and found nothing. Also i wouldn't expect there to be issues like this from the include files from GCC. Can anyone tell me what these errors could be from.
edit: with a lot of this code it is unfinished, but wanted to get it tested partially. I mainly just wanted an idea of the type of screw up on my end to look for because I have no idea where to start.
>g++ -o test.exe main.cpp

here is the main:
#include "program/skull_ascii.h"
#include "Player.h"
//#include "Building.h"
#include "Windows.h"
#include <iomanip>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
//prototypes
void intro();
void cityScene(Player*);
Player* getUserInfo();
void scroll(std::string text);
int main(){
intro(); //flashy ascii text intro
player* user = getUserInfo();
cityScene(user);
}
void intro(){ //not done tweaking
system("mode con:cols=81 lines=30");
system("color 02");
skull_title();
Sleep(1000);
for(int i = 1; i < 15; i++){
system("color 04");
Sleep(i*i / 2);
system("color 02");
Sleep(i*i);
}
system("color 04");
system("pause");
system("cls");
system("mode con:cols=120 lines=30");
}
Player* getUserInfo(){ //not done, just enough to test
player* user = new Player("test", 56);
return user;
}
void cityScene(Player* user){ //not close to finished, but shouldn't cause any issue
std::string prompt = "arbitrary text"; // will print out with other function
system("pause");
system("cls");
std::cout << "what do you want to do?: \n"
std::cout << "\t1.Just relax its not that important\n";
std::cout << "\t2.scavenge the apartment for items\n";
std::cout << "\t3.Leave immediately, there's no time left\n";
std::cout << ":";
}
void scroll(std::string text){
for(int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++){
std::cout << text[i];
Sleep(200);
if(i%45 == 0) std::cout << "\n";
}
}
the player class is a messy container atm, and isn't done
here is the player class:
#pragma once
#include <string>
#include <list>
#include <iostream>
#include "Item.h"
class Player{
std::string name;
int age;
std::list<Item> inventory;
public:
Player(std::string n, int a){
this->name = n;
this->age = a;
}
/* F-name: updateScreen()
params: none
return: void
purpos: updates the play screen with current player information
*/void update(){
system("cls"); // clear screen
std::cout << "NAME:" << name << " |\
AGE:XXX | \
WEAPONS: weapon 1, weapon2 | \
PACK_WEIGHT:XXXXXXXKgs | \
PARTY: name1, name2, name3, name4 | \
LOCATION: big city";
}
/*
F-name: addItem()
params: item object to add
return: void
purpos: adds an item to the inventory list
*/ void addItem(Item newItem){}
#pragma once
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
class Item{
std::string name;
std::string desc;
public:
Item(){
name = "void";
desc = "void";
}
Item(const Item& copy){
this->name = copy.name;
this->desc = copy.desc;
}
Item(std::string n, std::string d){
name = n;
desc = d;
}
~Item(){}
friend std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& out, const Item& thing){
out << thing.name;
return out;
}
void setName(std::string n){name = n;}
void setDesc(std::string d){desc = d;}
std::string getName(){return name;}
std::string getDesc(){return desc;}
};

The Player class definition in Player.h is not closed correctly. You forgot to add:
};
at the end. Right now, this causes the next header you include to cause a compilation error.
