I read the manual here 
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Testing-File-Type.html
This code after compilation produces this error, if I comment on the 
line with this error, then the error disappears

sure it does.

An undefined preprocessor symbol ends up in linker errors.

The OP should have received meaningful compiler warnings much earlier 
already, however (which he appears to ignore but shouldn't).

In my code this inclusion is connected, see past posts.

Ah, yes.

Compile with
1
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500


man 2 stat

should have shown you that.

Seems this has been moved to a separate man page lately. On my linux 
system, this is mentioned in man 2 stat, but the latest version of the 
linux man page project 
(http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/stat.2.html) just says:

1
st_mode

2
              This field contains the file type and mode.  See inode(7) for

3
              further information.


and the inode man page says:

1
The definitions of most of the above file type test macros are

2
provided if any of the following feature test macros is defined:

3
_BSD_SOURCE (in glibc 2.19 and earlier), _SVID_SOURCE (in glibc 2.19

4
and earlier), or _DEFAULT_SOURCE (in glibc 2.20 and later).  In

5
addition, definitions of all of the above macros except S_IFSOCK and

6
S_ISSOCK() are provided if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined.  The definition

7
of S_IFSOCK can also be exposed by defining _XOPEN_SOURCE with a

8
value of 500 or greater.
