It is not clear what you mean by ``compile DJGPP''. DJGPP is not a single program, it's a large collection of ported tools, such as GCC, as (the assembler), ld (the linker), and Make; and of libraries and utilities, such as the standard C library libc.a, which were written specifically for the DJGPP DPMI-based environment. You can take the sources of GCC and compile them with a Windows compiler, although I'd suggest to use something other than MSVC, probably a Windows port of GCC. This will work, since GCC was ported to Windows. But compiling the DPMI-specific code in DJGPP will generally not work, because it requires DPMI and DOS function calls which cannot be used by Windows programs directly.
