I think you are correct in your assumtion.  The header file only provides
function templates for the functions to be used.  An actual library or DLL
is what supplies the code for those functions.

If the FITS library is a DLL.
  Locate the DllName.LIB file
  If there is no such file or if there are complaints about it
     when you later try to build the program you can create
     a new one with a command like this one:
     implib  -c  DllName.LIB   DllName.DLL
     where the command is executed when the default
     directory is the project directory

Else locate the LIB file

Go to the project window
    Highlight the EXE name by clicking on it
    Press the Insert key
    A file selection dialog will open, select the *.LIB file

Now do a Project|Make

If you do know where the library or DLL for the FITS library is then you
will not be able to build the program until you locate it.
