Its unlikely that you could use a turbo C library directly as 
it uses a different object file format then DJGPP uses.

If you have the source code then you could rebuild that, which although
not trivial may be the easiest way.  

There are also some obj->lib converters but they only work on certain 
types of files.

Last - to attempt what you did you need to prepend a lib to the front of 
 the file name

IE

foo.lib -> libfoo.a

which is why it couldn'y find the file at all (not that this would 
link properly though)
