You can't point the DJGPP environment variable to a pathname that
includes long filenames. It's a chicken-and-egg problem: DJGPP cannot
know that it is required to support long filenames before it reads
DJGPP.ENV, and it cannot find it if it doesn't use long filenames
support. I think that if you change the second line above to this:
set DJGPP=D:/PROGRA~2/DJGPPV2/DJGPP.ENV
everything will work OK.
More generally, until you have a working environment, avoid using
anything that's not a standard DOS. One such is long filenames (it still
has some bugs); another is 4DOS that you are apparently using. When in
doubt, always check if the same bug happens without these non-standard
features.
