I have no idea about the content of 'cdefs.h'.
You may want to try to comment out the #include <sys/cdefs.h> line in your source .cpp file, and see what happens.

Answer 2

The <sys/cdefs.h> header is a BSD header. BSD is not a supported operating system of Visual C++. You need to get the header from elsewhere.
