Compiling Duke Nukem 3D Source Code (For Fun)

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile the duke nukem 3D source code, just for fun and for learning purpose (I mean the original source code, not the eduke32 one).
I'm using the OpenWatcom compiler, and after modifying a couple of lines of code I was able to get past the compilation stage, but now I'm stuck at linking stage.
I got a lot of undefined references:

wlink name duke3d d all sys dos4g op st=90k op m op maxe=25 op q op symf @duke3d.lk1
Error! E2028: Shutdown_ is an undefined reference

Error! E2028: setpalookupaddress_ is an undefined reference
Error! E2028: sethlinesizes_ is an undefined reference
Error! E3137: too many errors encountered

It looks like that it can find where these references are defined. Maybe I'm missing some libs ?

Thanks for the help!

Are you sure you're linking the engine object? If you are, perhaps you need to recompile the engine in OpenWatcom using Ken's source.

Only advice I can give is that I used watcom 11 instead of open watcom when compiling (William Shatner's) TekWar from the sources.
With openwatcom I got thrown a bunch of errors in my face while with the non-free it went trough without much trouble.

Not sure if you can go around that with some compatibility flag, didn't bother too much investigating it.

HOW TO COMPILE THE SOURCE CODE (by Charlie Wiederhold)
======================================================

This source code release was compiled on March 20th, 2003 using the materials in this archive.

Duke was originally written with the Watcom 10.0 C/C++ compiler. This code has been updated to allow it to compile under the free version of the Watcom compiler available from their webpage (http://www.openwatcom.org).

readme.txt in the source release I have.
