Building FreeTDS on Windows is quite a chore.
I recently did a successful native build in Windows 2008 and Vista
Enterprise.
There are some code bugs in the build (particularly in the net.c file) which
don't handle Windoze socket initialization.
Minimally, you'll need a compiler, at least Visual Studio VC6 or above. I
used VC9.
I don't recommend gong the cygwin route. The performance hit is substantial.

I'm pretty sure recent versions come with gcc via mingw, though the
home page at <http://strawberryperl.com/> is rather devoid of actual
information about what's in it. I would say try to get to a shell
prompt, pretend it's not Windows, and see what blows up. Apparently
it comes with DBD::ODBC, so that may be another option if DBD::Sybase
proves troublesome (but you'd still need FreeTDS's driver).
