Article #25804: How do I use FIBComponents with CBuilder?

Problem:
I can't get Free InterBase (FIB) to install in BCB

Solution:
> For CBuilder
> 1.) Chose Component|Install component..., in UNIT FILE NAME filed
>     chose FIBDataSet.pas. Do not compile immediately.
>
> 2.) Use IMPLIB from (BCB)Bin to build your own import library:
>     IMPLIB -c -f my_gds32.lib gds32.dll.
>
>       Add it to one of the project's nodes (The 'Contains' node).
>
> 3.) Add VCLDB40.bpi to the project (to the same node where you see
>     DCLUSR40.bpi).
>
>       I was unsuccessful with this and only was able to make it
>       work by adding it to the 'Requires' node.
>
> 4.) Display project properties. In tab Directories/Conditionals add
>     VER120 in Conditions field (this field is the second from the bottom of
>     the dialog).
>
> 5.)Compile and Install the package.

When building an application I was only successful
if I physically added the 'gds32.lib' to the project.
Without doing so I received a bunch of 'unresolved isc_' 
messages.
