LinuxPTP relies on kernel interfaces provided by the Linux kernel which are not portable to other operating systems. If you really want to port to non-Linux OSes (windows, or otherwise) you will need to either implement an identical API in that OS kernel, or you will need to wrap the API calls. On top of this, LinuxPTP uses the socket networking API which I don't believe is really available on Windows, though maybe Winsock is good enough? I don't think that supports Unix Domain Sockets, though. As you might have guessed from the project title there is no effort to port the programs to non-Linux OS due to the complexity of porting the kernel APIs.
