Make is working pretty well here, it is the compilation itself that is failing 
and this due to the reasons it is listing in the error messages. The three 
Linux calls you are using to access the ports aren't available on Windows. 
There may be some replacement library you may use for that, but most likely you 
will have to rewrite your program to access the printer ports on Windows. 
Direct hardware access is almost never portable from one operating system to 
the next and for that reason should be avoided wen possible.
