I strongly suggest you learn using makefiles. Using Bash would also help.

In the short term, you can shorten command lines by not using the full path 
of excutables. So, instead of c:\djgpp\bin\gcc, use gcc.

Also, instead of calling ld, let gcc do the work when you do 
gcc file1.o file2.o file3.o -o prog.exe -llib1 -llib2.

However, learning to use makefiles is your best bet.
