Unfortunately, at the moment, you can't. Although most of MIDAS would 
compile with DJGPP (as it works fine with GCC under Linux), the sound 
card hardware handling code will need some modifications. In particular, 
DMA and IRQ handling needs some changes, plus the assembler sources will 
have to be passed through a tasm/wdisasm/sed cycle to get compiled.

We will probably port MIDAS to work with DJGPP at some point, as we have 
received quite a few requests to do this, but I can't promise any dates - 
probably some day when I get temporarily fed up with Win32 programming :)
