Sdl compiling error with borland c++

could anyone specify what is meant by the term ‘this’ directory in the 'borland.html ’ in borland.zip which explains how and where to unzip the source files and use the ‘make’ utility to compile sdl.lib in borland format? AS of me, i have created a sdl directory, which contains the source files like all the .c,.h,and the other files of sdl-1,2,6 along with the Borland directory that inturn has the respective bcb6,freebcc,k3,lib subdirectories.Now when i use the free borland commamnd line compiler and open an MS DOS promt and the change to the Borland\freebcc directory and type ‘make -f sdl.mak’ (as directed in the borland.html text) i get the following error message
Make Version 5.2 Copyright © 1987, 2000 Borland
Fatal: ‘…\src\Sdl_getenv.obj’ does not exist - dont know how to make it.
the same type of message appears for 'make -f sdlmain.mak’
Fatal: ‘…\src\main\win32\Sdl_main.obj’ does not exist - dont know how to make it

With Borland c++ builder (6) compiler this is something like this
I go to bcb6 directory and double click ‘libSDL.bpg’ icon.This opens a ‘message’ window that says 0 errors 0 warning 0 hints fatal error.Next almost immedeatly it opens another ‘Open File’ window that reads
The requested file does not exist.You may create one of the following
file types instead.
Create a new Form
Create a new Unit
Create a new Textfile
When i experiment to create a new form it promts an ‘Error’ window stating The project already contains a form or module named graywin.I really cannot complie the necessary.Could any gentleman please tell me graphically how to go about right from creating the sdl folder to compiling ?Actually i want to compile a downloaded program ‘bfontmaker.c’ with sdl in win 98 but has not been succesful after repeated attempts for last 20 days.Your assistance would be of great help to me.thanking you in anticipation.---------------------------------

Sorry, but I do not use SDL on windows… in windows
I never used borland C compilers for nothing, so I do
not know what is happening.

If you don’t actually need to compile SDL itself, the quickest way to get
started with Borland C++ is to use the Visual C++ binaries. Download the
following package:

http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel-1.2.7-VC6.zip

Unzip it somewhere. Convert the import libraries with
coff2omf. Optionally, add the include and lib directories to your .cfg
files, and add the lib directory to your PATH. Most of the auxiliary
libraries, like SDL_image, also include VC binaries that can be converted
for use with Borland.
