I had a go at compiling what you sent, obviously I can't compile it
properly
 but I can test the syntax anyway.
 I just had to remove #include "includes.h"
 For me, gcc version 2.9-cygwin-990830, I got similar errors to you and
others 
 which I got rid of by fixing includes ... (except for one).

daemon.c: In function `daemon':
daemon.c:82: parse error before `kerneldll'
daemon.c:83: `kerneldll' undeclared (first use in this function)
daemon.c:83: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
daemon.c:83: for each function it appears in.)
daemon.c:87: parse error before `('
daemon.c:88: `RegisterService' undeclared (first use in this function)
daemon.c:95: `RegisterService' used prior to declaration
daemon.c:95: warning: implicit declaration of function `RegisterService'
daemon.c:108: `_PATH_DEVNULL' undeclared (first use in this function)


(I add the following includes)
//#include <includes.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
     #include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/stat.h>
     #include <fcntl.h>
#define HAVE_CYGWIN


ANYWAY

Two things .... (possibly caused by command line options?)

  1. compiler doesn't like // comments

  2. compiler doesn't like declaration of variables except at start of
function

The following compiles okay for me (with only the one error I introduced
which you shouldn't have)

int
daemon(nochdir, noclose)
        int nochdir, noclose;

        int fd;

                         RegisterService(NULL, 1);


#endif
                _exit(0);
        }

        if (setsid() == -1)
                return (-1);

        if (!nochdir)
                (void)chdir("/");

        if (!noclose && (fd = open(_PATH_DEVNULL, O_RDWR, 0)) != -1) {
                (void)dup2(fd, STDIN_FILENO);
                (void)dup2(fd, STDOUT_FILENO);
                (void)dup2(fd, STDERR_FILENO);
                if (fd > 2)
                        (void)close (fd);
        }
        return (0);
}

I can help a bit with C and a little with cygwin but I don't do all that
much
cygwin+windows programming.   Hopefully this is useful.

:)

That's a very good question .... and I really don't know the answer to
it :-7

Last time I played with services was on msdos5.something!
