solved by linux ntfsusermap
first umount ntfs disk, then run

id
sudo ntfsusermap /dev/sdb4

after generate

• You will have to move the file "UserMapping"
  to directory ".NTFS-3G" after mounting

/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 #106.
