It sounds as if the problem may be the way you unpacked the distribution.
Try using the zip archive rather than the tar.gz archive and use unzip
to unpack it.  Do this under DOS, not WIN95 so that all directories will
be adjusted to 8+3 by unzip.  Then try to compile.  None of the names in
the makefile need to be adjusted to 8+3; DJGPP takes care of this for
you.
