Ok,
I too downloaded MGL (v4.04 I think) and installed it on my win95 box.
Got the binaries, source, extras & djgpp files...
All installed ok...
(the installs detected I was using djgpp, didn't change a thing, used 
defaults)

Tried to make/dmake....nothing but errors every time...
Not one of their makefiles made it through 100%

Tried to rhide...but I didn't know how to include their *.a files, and I 
didn't want to plug them in my djgpp space...

I couldn't get a single demo program working, and my pride denied me to 
download the demo binaries...
(I thought that if I couldn't put the source together then what chance do i 
have to actually use the damn thing)

btw: somehow my win95 machine no longer boots on its own ("file creation 
error")

Cheers,
Rob
