That command line is blatantly wrong on one count, and questionable on
another:

*) options "-c" and "-o myzip.exe" contradict each other.  If you
   want an executable, you must not use -c.
*) -Ic:\djgpp\include is, or at least it *should* be, completely
   superfluous.  Get rid of it.

You don't supply enough details for anybody to be sure what went wrong
here.  The most likely reasons would be

1) you forgot to actually install the C++ compiler
2) you didn't read the README, causing you to unzip stuff 
   in the wrong way
3) you didn't read the README, causing you to install in a 
   badly chosen place.
