Because the API to access the serial port is very different between
Windows and Linux.

The C program does not have to be complicated to be incompatible. It
was written to use the API provided by Windows, which is why you
cannot even get it to compile under Linux.

You will need to find something else that has similar functionality,
but was written for Linux. Even if yo find it, due the the large
variation between Linux distributions, it may not be simple to get to
work on yours.
