Your problem is not related to DJGPP.  This code will fail under 
any compiler as the sin and cos routines require radians
(pg 250 of k&r 2nd "Angles for trigonometric funtions are expressed as 
radians."

If memory serves 1 radian = 57.3 degrees and 2Pi Radians = 360.

so 

result = sin ( theta * 2 * M_PI / 57.3  );

should work.
