on linux mint 21.2, i want to build ntfsusermap.exe according to Readme and INSTALL inside release file ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2022.10.3 run

solved by linux ntfsusermap first umount ntfs disk, then run

id
sudo ntfsusermap /dev/sdb4

after generate

/etc/fstab example

# mount a hard disk, with new files getting their protections
# the Windows way (a UserMapping file is required)
mount -t ntfs-3g -o inherit /dev/sda3 /mnt/shared

Just to clarify for anyone else stumbling on this issue: this error message is correct, since the driver part isn't supposed to work on Windows. You can get around this by passing the --disable-ntfs-3g argument to ./configure.

I have contributed some fixes for the Windows build in https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g/pull/106.
