It's impossible to say unless you post here your autoexec.bat file.

"SET LFN=y" as well as setting DJGPP and your path.  If you're
already doing that, make sure you used a Windows unzip program that
can recreate long filenames.  If you didn't, either reunzip
everything with a Windows unzip program or look in the .mft files
for any filenames that don't fit in DOS's 8.3 style naming system,
and rename the files to their full long filenames by hand. 

I actually needed to do this renaming quite a lot, so I automated the
process.  I've just uploaded the result; it's a program that scans
specified manifest files and checks that the named files haven't been
mangled by a DOS unzip program, offering to rename them if they have.
The zip file contains source and binary; unzip it expanding
subdirectories, from your djgpp directory, and type "lfnfix -h" for
help.
