When building GNU programs from source, it helps to have bash, make,
shell, file, and text utilities.
Some time ago, I actually did get gcal to build by using the configure
script. However, I just moved to a new computer, and don't have djgpp
installed yet so I can't check with the version you are referring to.
In any case, if you have the makefile you mentioned, I would suggest
issuing the command
make -f Makefile.djg
in bash (making sure you have the aformentioned utilites installed). Then
post any specific problems you encounter.
