Undefined references to all database functions

I'm currently coding some software that uses Microsoft SQL as it's database. The language used is C. The coding itself wasn't a problem at all, but I get numerous errors when compiling the code. And as this new place where I work has a strict OS policy, I'm forced to use a Windows machine and an IDE called Dev-C++. The boss didn't want to make any exceptions like bringing my own Linux coding laptop where everything works just fine. I somewhat managed to install FreeTDS on this machine, but the compiling process doesn't go well at all. I get a total of 71 errors, below are some examples. main.c: Undefined reference to 'dbinit'. main.c: Undefined reference to 'dblogin'. main.c: Undefined reference to 'dbsetluser'. main.c: Undefined reference to 'dbsetlpwd'. main.c: Undefined reference to 'dbfcmd'. main.c: Undefined reference to 'dbsqlexec'. I think this is a linker problem. I checked that I have included all necessary header files (sybfront.h and sybdb.h) and that they are where they should be (C:\path\to\dev-cpp\include\). The linker also knows that it should link -lsybdb. So what could be wrong? Am I missing some other header files? Am I missing some libraries? Is the compiler/linker that Dev-C++ uses just rubbish? Or is this Windows' fault? If I knew what logs or other informative pieces of text I could include here to make this easier for you, I'd do it. If only I'd know where to find everything important in this unlogical directory structure. Thanks in advance for your time.
