It's definitely not a missing header, or you'd get a different error.  You
should check for the following things:

1) The makefile calls a Unixy script which DOS doesn't recognize, or calls
Unixy shell commands like 'rm' and 'mv'.  You have to manually change it in
this case, or install the GNU DOS Fileutils.

2) Your PATH is not set correctly to find the DJGPP executables.  Assuming
that your DJGPP is in the G:\PROGRAMS directory, you have to add 
G:\PROGRAMS\BIN to your path.

3) Your DJGPP environment variable is not set properly.  Read the 'readme.1st'
file and/or the FAQ for detailed information, but in general you must have
something like:

SET DJGPP=G:\PROGRAMS\DJGPP.ENV

in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.  Note again that this is assuming that G:\PROGRAMS is
where you put your DJGPP.  To check to be sure that this is working right,
type SET from the DOS command line and see if the DJGPP line is in there.
If not, you need to post your configuration as indicated in the FAQ here
on the group so we can try to debug it.

4) Is G: a networked drive?  Then you may want to look in the FAQ for tips on
some problems that can appear when running DJGPP over a Novell network.

The FAQ is available as v2/faq201b.zip from the same place you got DJGPP,
and comes in info, html, and text forms.
