The problem is with Borland Make. Borland Make is a very greedy program,
it grabs all available DPMI memory, thus leaving nothing for poor old GO32 !
You can do two things to avoid this:
(1) Add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SET DPMIMEM=MAXMEM 1024 (or a similar command, see Borland Manual)
(2) Use the MAKE program that comes with DJGPP.
Make sure that \DJGPP\BIN is earlier in your PATH than \BORLANDC\BIN !
I would advice to switch to GNU make (option 2).
