The linker cannot find the library file "libc_alias.a" in c:\djgpp\lib ---
that is where you have your library files (the ones that end with '.a'),
right?
Do you have c:\djgpp\lib\libc_alias.a?
Do you mind telling me what you have your %DJGPP% environment set to?

Here we need info. What version of Windows are you running? What version of
DJGPP do you have ... i.e. what does your C:\djgpp\maifest\djdev*.ver say?
What comes on the screen when you do a 'gcc --version'?

Apparently, there was a while when DJGPP was not compatible with long
filenames under NT systems (Win2000, XP, etc.).
