In general, you can't, but maybe you're lucky, read the DJGPP FAQ,
  Converting--How to convert DOS code to DJGPP?
     -> I want to use a `.obj' or `.lib' code with DJGPP (section 17.5)
get it from simtel djgpp/v2/faq201b.zip
 or
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq124.html#Converting
 to get right to the subject.

hth,
 Robert.

PS Try to send DJGPP specific questions only to comp.os.msdos.djgpp
   I have deleted all other references.
