c++ 11 include inside #ifdef

In my Visual studio 2012 ,C++11 static function I have:

kuku* kuku::createKuku(bool enable, std::string dumpPat)
{
#ifndef ANDROID
    #include "kukuWin.h"
    return new kukuWin(enable, dumpPat);
#else
    #include "kukuAndroid.h"
    return new kukuAndroid(enable, dumpPat);
#endif
}

in c++98 it works , but here I have multiple errors:

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\include\excpt.h(29): error : linkage specification is not allowed
1>    extern "C" {
1>    ^
1>  
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared\windef.h(17): error : linkage specification is not allowed
1>    extern "C" {
1>    ^
1>  
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared\specstrings.h(49): error : linkage specification is not allowed
1>    extern "C" {
1>    ^
1>  
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared\driverspecs.h(133): error : linkage specification is not allowed
1>    extern "C" {
1>    ^
1>  
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared\minwindef.h(42): error : linkage specification is not allowed
1>    extern "C" {
1>    ^

:)

Can anyone help me with it,

Thanks

An #include directive will put the full text of the included file exactly where the directive is. So all that stuff in "kukuWin.h" is going smack dab in the middle of your createKuku function, where it doesn't belong.

You'll almost always put inclusions at the top of your source files.
