I'm going to guess that whatever method you used to transfer
your .pro files from your UNIX machine to your Windows machine
didn't adequately take into account the differences in
end-of-line characters. I suspect you have run-on lines that
are causing you all the problems.
Cheers,
David

Thanks David,
In case anyone has a similar issue unresolved, it appears when I put
an & character in front of the end* statements that it compiles as
expected. So it looks like your guess is pretty reasonable.
