Can you please help me compiling the BCCGRX 2.0 beta sources?

I am using djgpp v1.12m4
Earlier, I have been using libgrx 1.03m1 and BCCGRX 1.2a without trouble.

Now, I have installed libgrx 2.0 beta, apparently working OK on test
programs and own BCCGRX-independent programs.

When installing BCCGRX 2.0, I use the unmodified makedefs, set up for
djgpp v1.12m4 and libgrx 2.0 beta.

With the grdriver.h from libgrx 2.0 in the include path,  
"make clean lib" results in a lot of 
'conflicting types' and 'previous declaration' errors.
But as I don't want to use libbcc.a, the following is more interesting:

"make clean libx" results in:
text.c:117: In function 'do_init':
text.c:117: 'GrFont_PC8x8' undeclared

If I search for the string 'GrFont_PC8x8' from the top of my djgpp
directory, I can only find it in 'text.c'

If I make an integer dummy-variable called GrFont_PC8x8, it all compiles with
an 'assignment from incompatible pointer type' warning, and I am able to
compile the test programs, too.

Not surprisingly, I get segmentation faults and crashes from some programs,
probably due to the kludge.

Thanks,
