On Windows/DOS, you wouldn't, but given a sufficiently complete DJGPP
installation, you can do it, in essentially the same way you would on
Unix:

	./configure

The catch is that you have to do this from a running Unix-ish command
shell, which in the case of DJGPP is GNU bash.  The short way of doing
this is therefore

	bash configure

But let me repeat my earlier recommendation: for the case of packages
like indent, which have already been ported to DJGPP by others, and
published as binary packages for your convenience, I would advise
against trying this unless you have a specific need that the existing
binary doesn't fulfill *and* the skill to pull this off.  Your
questions so far hint that the latter would be untrue.
