You are trying to mix the legacy SDK with the HAL (the software environment used by the IDE). This won't work.

The legacy SDK is not recommended for new projects.

I suggest you look at using the macros within components/altera_avalon_timer/inc/altera_avalon_timer_regs.h which is the HAL way to do things.

One more hint - if you are accessing the timer directly then you will need to start from an alt_main project as otherwise the HAL timer code will get in your way.
