C++ code doesnt compile because multiple symbol error - c++

Question

I tried to compile the below code:
Here is the server.h code (https://codeshare.io/an3XW4)
///////////////HEADER FILES///////////////
#include <pthread.h>
#include "Server.h"
///////////////FUNCTIONS///////////////
/*Thread Main Function
Variable Definition:
-- thread_arguments: arguments which thread should be used
Return Value: NULL
*/
void *threadMain(void *thread_arguments){
int client_socket; //socket descriptor for client
//Guarantees that thread resources are deallocated upon return
pthread_detach(pthread_self());
//Pass the arguments
client_socket = ((THREAD_ARGUMENTS*)thread_arguments)->client_socket;
//Deallocate memory for argument
free(thread_arguments);
//Handle the client request
handleClientRequest(client_socket);
return (NULL);
}
THIS IS TIMEUTILITY.C, i dont understand much about C, im a programmer in java and more higher level languages of that sort.
///////////////HEADER FILES///////////////
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <time.h>
#include "Server.h"

But when I try to compile it, using g++ (C++ compiler) (the code was natively written in C), i get a weird error, anyone understand why? This is the full code of the Thread.C

Answer 1

As others have indicated, I do not see the whole source code, specifically, the Server.h which probably does not use multiple inclusion guards (i.e top level ifdef or pragma once).
