Quite simply, this says that the object files you tried to link in the
above Makefile snippet don't define the `main' function.  You need to
find out why there's no `main' there.

These probably mean that some file is in wrong format.  Is it possible
that the *.lib files you are trying to use were compiled with a
non-DJGPP compiler?  If so, you cannot link against them: the linker
won't recognize the object file format.  See section 17.5 of the DJGPP
FAQ list for more about this.
