header

I would like to ask if it is possible to use the entities defined in #ifdef block in header files. To be clear, I have following code:

#ifdef
    #include <winsock2.h>

    #define SOCKET_HANDLE     SOCKET
    #define CONNECTION_HANDLE SOCKET
#endif


SOCKET_HANDLE createServerSocket(const char* hostAddress, short port);

I am Java developer and this seems completely fine for me. However compiler has a problem with this.

Can you explain why is that code a problem? Also how can I force to compile it. (The idea is to have generic interface and conditional compilation to determine real types according to running platform at compile time.)

Thanks
