I assume that after this command, you use something like:

gcc -o name.exe name.o

Otherwise, that '-c' parameter isn't going to do what you expect.

In any case, there are two things you must to in order to build C++
programs with DJGPP.  You must install the C++ compiler and libraries
(v2gnu/gpp2721b.zip and v2gnu/lgp271b.zip), and you must link the C++
libraries when you compile.

In one step:

gcc -Wall -o name.exe name.cpp -lgpp

In two steps:

gcc -Wall -c name.cpp
gcc -o name.exe name.o -lgpp

You can also substitute 'gxx' for 'gcc', which adds '-lgpp' to the
command line automatically.

This is all in the documentation, btw, which I suggest you read.
