Harry:

In VC9, here are the list of additional libraries I needed to link into to my 
"hello SQL" app to drive FreeTDS:

ws2_32.lib
odbc32.lib
odbccp32.lib
FreeTDS.lib
dblib.lib
libTDS.lib

Best,

Paul

Well I don't even know how to get started...

The only thing I found was to download msys, so I can run configure and make.

This creates libsybdb.a, libsybdb.dll.a mad libsybdb.la files.

Is this what I should be doing to start with?

I really have no idea how Qt was compiled; it is the download LGPL version 
4.6.2 from their website.

What exactly should I look for?

That's the issue I think when compiling with Visual Studio, and trying to use 
the .lib with Qt.
