So what could be the error ?

Well, the message says that the syntax error occurred
In file included from mfunc.c:1
which (in a later post) appears to be your
#include "mdef.h"

Otherwise, your code does not appear to contain any syntax errors that
would be detected and reported as
mfunc.c:42: error: expected ')' before '*' token
so I'm guessing that your mdef.h header has the syntax error.
