You must set the DJGPP environment variable to point to the djgpp.env
file.  Apart from that, no modifications should be necessary to
djgpp.env, unless you want to permanently enable long filename support,
or add environment variables for additional DJGPP programs.  In the
latter case, the documentation should tell you exactly what you need to
add.

Modifying djgpp.env should always be left as a last resort.

Exactly what error did you see?  We need to see the actual messages, not
just, "there was an error."  You can redirect the output of make to a
file with the 'redir' utility that comes with v2/djdev201.zip.  The
syntax would look something like this:

    redir -o err.log -eo make

You should not need to manually set DJDIR; djgpp.env should set it
properly in nearly all cases.  See below.

This looks like an error.  You must not put spaces around the '='
character in an environment variable.  What you are setting here is the
variable "DJGPP ", not "DJGPP".  This is critically important.  Try to
fix it and see if things work better.
