OpenDoors's .lib files are a different format from the .a library format
that DJGPP uses.  You also run into the problem that OpenDoors is not coded
for a flat memory model.  I am considering starting a project to write
something similar for DJGPP, but it will probably take me a while.
At one time I considered licensing the OpenDoors source so I could just
rewrite some of the code & compile under DJGPP.  However, Brian Pirie seems
to have completely quit supporting the package.
