I checked it out, everything is compiled as C, not C++. I also took a
look at the Dev-C++ command line, the whole thing is below.
Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\path\to\project\Makefile.win"
Executing make clean
rm -f ../project/main.o ../project/project_private.res project.exe
gcc.exe main.c -o ../project/main.o -I"C:\path\to\Dev-cpp\include" -i
project_private.rc --input-format=rc -o ../project/project_private.res
-0 coff --include-dir C:\path\to\Dev-cpp\lib" -lsybdb
gcc.exe ../project/project.o ../project/project_private.res
"project.exe" -L"C:\path\to\Dev-cpp\lib" -lsybdb
main.c: Undefined reference to 'dbinit'.
main.c: Undefined reference to 'dblogin'.
.

.
main.c: Undefined reference to 'dbclose'.
Collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make.exe:***[project.exe] Error 1
Execution terminated
So everything compiles as it should, but linking fails. I don't know
what goes wrong with the linking, it looks like it just fails to find
those symbols. If it helps you, I'm using FreeTDS version
0.83.dev.20080518. The .dev.20080518 rings some alerts. Am I using a
week old snapshot? If I am, then I guess I should revert to the latest
stable version and see if that helps at all.
Thanks in advance
