CS_LOGIN_STATUS is defined in cspublic.h and was added there more than 5 years 
ago. Defining it yourself may not help as the program you are compiling may 
actually need some features that were added in FreeTDS around or after that 
time.

Is your version of FreeTDS recent enough ?

Could you be compiling your program with an old set of include files (coming 
from a development package not up to date or installed manually) ?
