A parse error is when the compiler encounters a mistake in your code. The
following things can cause a parse error:

omitting a semicolon where one is needed, or putting one where it doesn't
belong.
mismatching brackets, braces or parenthesis.
using a nonstandard keyword such as "far".

There might be other things that could cause this error. Since you say it
works in one compiler and not another, it probably uses a nonstandard
keyword, or expects a symbol to be #defined which isn't in DJGPP. It would
make it easier for someone to tell you exactly what the problem is if you
posted more information.
